Connect & Care
Help Protect Elks Run
Caring for the watershed can be as hands-on as helping monitor stream
conditions or as simple as reporting a problem when you see one.
There are several ways to get involved and help protect Elks Run.
Volunteer To Help Monitor The Stream
You and your friends can volunteer as part of a water monitoring
team that checks stream conditions, assesses stream health, and
collects data at defined sites each month.
If you are interested in regular monitoring, let us know through
the contact form.

waterways, there are several agencies and organizations you can contact.
