Still Creek Streamkeepers water quality data download
Each season, our streamkeeper volunteers download data from water quality data loggers within Still Creek. This data is used for scientific research and to monitor the ecological health of the creek ecosystem. Streamkeepers also help with other activities like monitoring the types and numbers of fish and invertebrates present in Still Creek.
Everyone is welcome to become a Streamkeeper! We can teach you everything you need to know.
