Watershed Watch- Chollas Creek + Otay River Water Sampling Day

Join our Chollas Creek and Otay River Water Quality Sampling Day, where volunteers will join our team to gather water samples and collect data at four (4) sites total within the Chollas Lake and Otay River. Volunteers will collect water samples and use different scientific instruments to gather data. Please bring a reusable water bottle, sun protection, hiking shoes (or closed-toed), and long pants. You might also want to bring hiking/athletic and water-resistant clothing.  One team will join our Community Science Director, Laura Fuller, and our Community Science Coordinator, Camila Ruiz. The meet-up location is at Gompers Park, on the side of Carolina Lane.
