Volunteers provide their time and passion for the outdoors. UWW provides the training, equipment, and support for volunteers to become citizen scientists monitoring the health of Utah's lakes and streams. Volunteers commit to monitoring a location at least once a month for seven months out of the year or assist watershed coordinators as needed.
