Concerned about chemical levels in the river? Help Watauga Riverkeeper Volunteers collect water samples at designated sites for chemical analysis at a state-certified lab. When you sign up to help, one of our staff will email you to set you up with a sampling site that is most convenient for you. When you are given a site, you pick up your sampling kit at Valle Crucis Community Park on a Friday. Samples are collected the 2nd Saturday or Sunday of every month and dropped off at Cove Creek Store on Sunday.
Please note under MountainTrue policy, we will never share your contact information with external groups or individuals.
