10 Ways to Volunteer for Clean Water
UPDATED 12:43 PM CDT Aug 12, 2013
1. Volunteer Stream Monitoring: Through the WAV program, citizens monitor 6 water quality parameters
in streams that can be waded into safely. They monitor: dissolved oxygen, temperature, transparency,
flow, habitat, and macroinvertebrates between April and October. More than 450 sites are currently
registered in the online database with about 120 sites monitored annually. WAV provides citizens
assistance in setting up local stream monitoring programs, training to learn methods for monitoring,
written methods, data sheets, and ongoing educational programming. To learn more, visit the WAV
website at: clean-water.uwex.edu/wav or contact the statewide WAV Coordinator, Kris Stepenuck, at
608-265-3887 or [email protected].
2. Help Maintain and Restore a Prairie! Work parties are held by The Nature Conservancy regularly at
Chiwaukee Prairie of Kenosha County on the third Saturday of every month from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Throughout the winter and into early spring, volunteers cut and treat woody invasive species such as
buckthorn, honeysuckle and cherry trees. In the spring and early summer, volunteers will help remove
pesky garlic mustard, dame’s rocket, and other herbaceous invasive species. Contact Pam Holy at (262)
658-8336 or check the website for updates www.chiwaukee.org.
3. Volunteer at Community Outreach Events: The Respect Our Waters campaign has a table at many area
community events! Volunteers are needed to help with the set-up of the booth, distribution of free green
items, and most importantly, talking to citizens about simple steps they can take to help keep our waters
clean. To see a list of the events, visit www.respectourwaters.org. Contact Jeff Martinka at 414-382-1766
([email protected]) or contact Allison Chernouski at 262-898-2055 ([email protected]) to
volunteer your time at an event.
4. Organize or Participate in a River Clean Up: You can help the environment by removing garbage from
within or along a stream or river. If you are interested in planning a clean up event for your community,
you can download the river clean up packet that includes information about planning a river clean up for a
group, including things to think about well in advance of your planned event. This information is
provided by Water Action Volunteers, a cooperative program between the University of Wisconsin–
Extension and the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources. For more information, contact Kris
Stepenuck, Water Action Volunteers Coordinator at 608-264-8948 or 608-265-3887. Join the Kenosha
Sportfishing and Conservation Association in September on a clean-up of the Pike River. The clean-up is
scheduled for September 21, 2013, and will begin at Petrifying Springs Park. Like KSCA on facebook at
https://www.facebook.com/kenoshasportfishing for more information.
5. Become a Clean Boats, Clean Waters Volunteer: With the growing concern over the spread of aquatic
invasive species to Wisconsin’s inland lakes, many lake association members and other concerned
citizens are looking for ways to get involved. Through the Clean Boats, Clean Waters program, adult and
youth volunteers will:
learn how to organize and conduct a boater education program in their community;
educate boaters on how and where invasive species are most likely to hitch a ride into water
bodies;
perform boat and trailer checks for invasive species and distribute informational brochures;
some individuals become water monitoring volunteers as well, collecting and reporting suspect
samples of invasive species, particularly for zebra mussels and Eurasian water milfoil.

Wisconsin Invasive Species Program, 715-346-4978.
6. Participate in the Root River Challenge: October 12, 2013, is The Root River 5K Run/Walk or 12 Mile
Bike Ride Challenge. The Root River Pathway starts in the natural beauty of Colonial Park. As it follows
the path of the Root River, the trail includes educational signposts that tell the story of the role of the river
in the development of Racine. The pathway offers an opportunity to see Racine as it cannot be seen from
a moving vehicle, to identify plants and trees native to the region and to appreciate the ecology of the
Root River system. It also connects to the Lake Michigan Pathway which offers one of the most beautiful
trails in Southeast Wisconsin. Visit https://www.runningguru.com/WebSite.asp?WebSiteID=186 for more
information and to register.
7. Build a Rain Garden or install a Rain Barrel at a school or church! Rain gardens and rain barrels are
great ways to reduce stormwater runoff pollution in our rivers and Lake Michigan. If you are interesting
in taking on a volunteer installation project at your school, church, or other location, contact Root-Pike
WIN at 262-898-2055 or [email protected] for more information.
8. Help Maintain Public Rain Gardens! Rain gardens need annual mulching, weeding, and monitoring. If
you enjoy working outdoors and would like to get involved in your community’s rain gardens, contact
Root-Pike WIN at 262-898-2055 or [email protected] for information.
9. Help restore a Beach: The City of Racine is currently working to restore Samuel Myers Park and its
beach. Volunteers are needed for upcoming work days, during which invasive plants species will be
removed and native plants will be added. To add your name to the volunteer list, please contact Root-Pike
WIN at 262-898-2055 or [email protected].
10. Make a donation to a nonprofit water protection organization. Donations from individuals are
critical because grant funding is insufficient for all the work that needs to be done to protect our precious
waters. There are many groups working to protect our waters. Here are some local and state
organizations: Root-Pike Watershed Initiative Network; Root River Council; Kenosha Sportsfishing and
Conservation Association; Trout Unlimited; Sierra Club-Gateway Group; Southeast Wisconsin
Watersheds Trust (Sweet Water); River Revitalization; Milwaukee Riverkeeper; Clean Wisconsin; River
Alliance of Wisconsin; Alliance for the Great Lakes.
