WILD AND SCENIC RIVERS

VOLUNTEER TRAINING (DEMO)

Welcome to the Wild and Scenic Rivers training page! Here you’ll find everything you need to know to access and collect samples from the wild and scenic river system.

Please keep in mind the following considerations as you start the training modules:

  • You cannot save your progress in these modules. Plan on setting aside 20-30 minutes to complete each module.
  • In most of the modules, you will be asked to complete a short survey. Please make sure you complete each survey — this is our way of knowing that you’ve completed each section of the training.
