We are currently sampling at 14 sites from May through October, as part of Riverkeeper’s Water Quality Program, working closely with the Bard Center for Environmental Sciences and the Humanities for scientific support and lab work. Our volunteers are doing important citizen science to increase our understanding of the Roe Jan, its watershed, the Hudson River, and the entire Hudson Valley. Many of our sampling costs are covere by a nearby Town or CAC. That’s wonderful, but it doesn’t pay all the bills.
The work of the Roe Jan Watershed Community moves us forward, but it can’t be done without your help.
- You can give whatever works for you. Donations of $50 are common, and will fund several months of lab work at one of our sites.
- To fully cover a year (six samples) at one of our sites, donate $165.
- Or just send us the cost of your occasional macchiato or cappuccino; every dollar helps.
