2025 Volunteer Water Quality Monitoring Training: Montgomery County

Anacostia Riverkeeper, funded by Chesapeake Bay Trust and Montgomery County Government and working with partner organizations Defensores De La Cuenca, Friends of Sligo Creek, Neighbors of Northwest Branch and One Montgomery Green will be conducting bi-weekly water quality monitoring to inform the public about up-to-date water quality health as well as help inform long-term policy decisions about local waterways.

We will be collecting water quality samples from 8 sites in Montgomery County, Maryland on tributaries of the Anacostia River. We need your help to sample these sites every other week throughout the summer! Sampling is done Wednesday Mornings. All data goes online 24-hours later after the samples are analyzed.

Note- we also monitor 7 sites in Prince George’s county- volunteers wishing to monitor those sites are more than welcome to join this training to become certified!!!

All new volunteers are required to attend a training session! Returning volunteers can re-certify digitally- email [email protected] for instructions!

Please reserve your spot by getting a ticket through this Eventbrite!
