Interested in sampling points throughout Deckers Creek? Friends of Deckers Creek's Citizen Scientist program provides the training and resources to do so.

Launched in 2010, our Citizen Scientist program has provided FODC with long-term trends in water quality throughout the watershed. Citizen Scientists are members of the general public who collect and enter stream data.

FODC has sampled Deckers Creek quarterly for the past 14 years at 13 locations. The work of our Citizen Scientists has tripled our number of monitoring sites while giving us additional eyes and ears on the ground to watch for potential pollutants. This has allowed us to pinpoint poor water quality areas within the watershed, resulting in successful remediation projects.
