In 1996, the Volunteer Water Information Network (VWIN) program was established as a water quality monitoring program for many Western North Carolina counties. In Haywood County, Haywood Waterways Association manages 25 sites on 19 streams. The program’s purpose is to provide long term water quality monitoring information to help leverage grant funding for water quality improvement projects.
Volunteers collect water samples from assigned sites the second Saturday of each month as close to noon as possible. Haywood Waterways needs a backup volunteer to fill in when the primary volunteer is unavailable for the Crabtree area. No experience needed. Training and materials will be provided.
