About the event

Virginia Save Our Streams Training (VMN Pocahontas Chapter)
Become a certified Virginia Save Our Streams water quality monitor to see how healthy your local streams are.

About this Event

Virginia Save Our Streams (VA SOS) is a great way to test water quality by collecting and identifying stream insects called benthic macroinvertebrates. The Izaak Walton League is partnering with the Pocahontas Chapter of the Virginia Master Naturalists to provide a workshop for those who wish to become a certified VA SOS Monitor and have their data entered into a nationwide water quality database. Learn more at vasos.org.


In order to become a certified VA SOS Monitor, volunteers must:

1 . Complete online portion, including watching 2 webinars and passing a macroinvertebrate identification quiz. This must be completed prior to this event.

2 . Attend a field training session (this event!) to learn the collection protocols.

3 . Pass a protocol quiz after the field training.


What to bring: Water, a snack, clothes you don't mind getting dirty, and waterproof boots if you have them.
