Whether you're an experienced WaterWatch volunteer, a former monitor, or simply curious about getting involved, join us for a day of learning, conversation, and exploration along the Yarrowee Leigh waterways.

Together we'll spend time at the waterway, learn from different perspectives, share observations and stories of change, and explore how citizen science can help us better understand and care for local waterways.

This workshop will introduce participants to the WaterWatch program and provide hands-on experience using water quality monitoring equipment, while also creating space to explore the broader story of the Yarrowee Leigh catchment. Together, we'll hear from local groups and organisations, share observations and knowledge, and discuss the questions and concerns people have about local waterways.
