The Kirkendall Nature Center in Kokomo's Jackson Morrow Park will host a Hoosier Riverwatch Workshop on April 28 and 30. Riverwatch is a statewide program that supports volunteer water quality monitoring of local waterways.

Workshop participants will learn about stream ecology and tools for assessing water quality through several activities both indoors and outdoors. Teachers and home school educators may be especially interested in this workshop as many of the activities can be adapted for use with all grade levels and are cross-referenced with state teaching standards.

The Riverwatch workshop will take place in two sessions from 5:30 to 9 p.m. on both days. Participants must attend both sessions. The workshop is free of charge and open to individuals of high school age or older. A mature younger person may attend with an accompanying adult.

Registration is required by calling the Howard County Soil and Water Conservation District at (765) 457-2114 x3, or the Clinton County Soil and Water Conservation District at (765) 659-1223 x3.
