Earth Team
 The
Earth Team volunteer program welcomes everyone who wants to help take care
of natural resources in their community.
In Arizona, 311 volunteers were part of the Earth Team in
fiscal year 2006. They donated 9,897 hours of their time and talents in a variety of capacities:
water monitoring
planting and maintenance of native plants
helping to eliminate noxious weeds
conservation education
office and computer assistance
World Water Monitoring Day
The Earth Team participates every
year in an international project called World Water Monitoring Day (WWMD). Earth Team volunteers
in Arizona monitor
waters across the state, gathering data on temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen, and
turbidity.
Water monitoring occurs Sept. 18-Oct. 18, with the WWMD celebration on Oct. 18.
Earth Team members will receive a free water monitoring kit and information on
how to play a part in World Water Monitoring Day.
