High Country Microplastics Sampling Volunteer List

Help Watauga Riverkeeper keep tabs on the amount of microplastics in our rivers! Once you sign up to help sample, one of our staff members will email you to set you up with a site that is most convenient for you to collect quarterly. Volunteers will collect surface water samples at designated sampling sites across Watauga County, and drop the samples off to the Boone, NC office to be analyzed at the lab by staff. Data collected from a brief 10-20 minute stream cleanup is submitted to staff, and used for future plastic-ban initiatives.

Please note under MountainTrue policy, we will never share your contact information with external groups or individuals.

**Note: Dates and times are subject to change due to weather conditions with short notice. Please follow our Watauga Riverkeeper Instagram and Watauga Riverkeeper Facebook Page or email hannah@mountaintrue.org to receive the most up-to-date information on event changes/cancellations.
