To become a habitat volunteer, please complete the following:

• Watch the Training video (37 minutes)

• Watch and score the two test videos (about 3 minutes each)  (Indian Creek and Rentschler)

• Then, contact Lynn and send her your score sheets for the two test videos

Butler County Stream Team is a citizen science group that collects, analyzes, and reports water quality data from many waterways in Butler County.

​

The Stream Team exists through the collaborative effort of Butler County resident volunteers, the Institute for the Environment and Sustainability at Miami University, the Butler County Storm Water District, and the Butler Soil and Water Conservation District.
