2007 Citizen Monitoring Award -- Group Effort
At their regular meeting, members of the Pewaukee River Partnership were presented the 2007 Citizen Monitoring Award in the Group Effort category.
Kyle Zenz, basin educator for natural resources, University of Wisconsin-Extension made the presentation. She explained that the work of the Monitors was very important in establishing a baseline for future measurements of the Pewaukee River.
Sponsors of this statewide award include the University of Wisconsin-Extension, the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources and the Water Action Volunteers (WAV).
Over the past two years, the 23 Pewaukee River Partnership volunteers have monitored the Pewaukee River, as well as Coco Creek, Zion Creek and Meadow brook Creek. They have measured dissolved oxygen, temperature, turbidity, stream flow, habitat and completed the biotic index.
