Water quality monitor volunteers needed

For more information about what is involved in water quality monitoring in Euclid Creek watershed locations, please contact jeanette.evans@sbcglobal.net. The program is a good way to learn more about watershed planning and contribute to the health of our environment. One of the monitoring locations is at the intersection of Richmond and White Roads.

Coreopsis is a good native choice for sunny locations. This image comes from ohioprarienurseries.com.
