Millennium Youth Conservationists seeks members for Geauga County

Youths who would like to explore streams in Geauga County and learn about their water chemistry and biology this summer are invited to join the Millennium Youth Conservationists team this summer.

In collaboration with the Ohio Department of Natural resources’ Scenic Rivers Program, team members will use kick seines, sediment sticks, phosphorus test kits, and more to analyze the health of area streams and rivers while providing official stream data to ODNR.

All ages are welcome and participants can come for one outing or for all as they contribute data to the Ohio’s Scenic Rivers Program. It begins in June and concludes in August.

It is free and takes place two Thursdays a month.

Contact Colleen Sharp with the Geauga Soil and Water Conservation District at 440-834-1122, ext. 6, or csharp@geaugaswcd.com for more information.
