Are you interested in water quality in your watershed? Would you be willing to learn how to monitor streams and rivers as a citizen monitor? We are looking for teams to be trained in the Save Our Streams methods of biological monitoring within the Upper Tennessee River watershed. We have workshops coming up and can do more as the need arises. We can also work with teachers and student groups who want to do citizen science in their county. Contact us today!

Description
The Upper Tennessee River Roundtable is a non-profit organization with an overall interest in improving water quality in the Upper Tennessee River Watershed. Don’t let the name confuse you: the Upper Tennessee River Roundtable is based in Southwest Virginia and covers from the very tip of Virginia, Lee County, toward Wythe County. The Roundtable represents a total of nine counties and two cities.
The Upper Tennessee River watershed covers three rivers in Virginia: the Clinch, Holston, and Powell rivers. The Roundtable is active in water quality improvement efforts in all three of these rivers. The greater watershed is host to numerous species of fish, mussel, and other aquatic life species. In fact, according to the Nature Conservancy, the Upper Tennessee River watershed greatly exceeds all other watersheds in the lower 48 states in terms of species richness and diversity!
