The Acid Rain Monitoring Project is seeking volunteers statewide to sample streams and ponds in Massachusetts on April 8, 2018! No previous experience is necessary, just a desire to get out and enjoy our waterbodies while contributing to a 30+ year study on the effects of acid rain.
We'll send you a map, sampling instructions, and a sampling bottle. After collecting your designated sample, you can just drop it off at the nearest of 12 labs across the state.
There are 150 sites across Massachusetts and currently there is a particular need for volunteers in the Attleboro area. Please see our website below for a map of all sampling sites needing volunteers, or contact us for more information.
