Salt River Watershed Watch will work with six Jefferson County schools this year in a ‘GREEN’ partnership to advance watershed education and involve students in water quality issues. Using a grant from the nonprofit Earth Force, SRWW will work with three Jefferson County high schools and three middle schools. The high schools are Eastern, Fairdale, and Moore. The middle schools are Farnsley, Meyzeek, and Newburg. Volunteers are needed to work with teachers and students at sampling sites. Contact Russ Barnett using information in the box to the right. |

After nine years of almost-weekly sampling, SRWW’s special study of pathogens at Big Rock, a popular picnic destination in Louisville’s Cherokee Park, has ended. Eleven SRWW volunteers generated 480 data points, which were analyzed for the final report. Not surprisingly because the stream, the Middle Fork of Beargrass Creek, is already state-listed as impaired for pathogens, the stream at Big Rock rarely met standards for swimming but often met standards for wading during normal flow conditions.
