South Fork Conservancy

Calling all watershed stewards!!💙 South Fork Conservancy is compiling a State of the Watershed Report to discuss current and historical sources of pollution in our waterways that impact water quality, human health, and our natural environment. If you have any information on water quality in our watershed, we would love to hear from you! Especially if it includes any of the following:
💧locations of previous/current stream monitoring
💧stream monitoring data
💧locations of pollution, spills, discharges, etc.
💧photos that reflect water quality
💧graphs or maps that reflect water quality
💧any other type of info you may have!!
No amount of information is too small! If you would like to share your information with us, please fill out this form:

Thank you for being a part of our research! Stay tuned for the final State of the Watershed Report!💙

Come along on our walk in Montreal Park with and !! We learned all about this beloved forest and the many plants that call it home💚

Did you know mushrooms are the glue that hold forests together?🍄 They make a huge communication network with trees and other plants right within the forest floor! Kinda like a giant group chat📳 Must be hard being so popular when you’re such a fungi (I’ll see myself out)

Make sure to upload your pictures for the City Nature Challenge (hosted locally by ) on iNaturalist through April 27th! What a fine looking group of scientists you are👩‍🔬👨‍🔬🍀🌱🌼

We had so much fun with on our spring walk!! We learned all about native plants, how to spot invasives (and how to get rid of them!!❌), the many, MANY‼️ animals that rely on native plants to survive, and how easy it is to plant more native plants in our backyards!!🌱 It was also amazing to walk and talk with some incredible community members!!🥰
