Monthly South River Water Testing - April
Community water testing project as part of the Adopt-A-Stream state program. Volunteers will collect data on water sources in their neighborhoods along the South River. The event starts in the parking lot and proceeds down the trail to the first shoals for testing and community learning. This initiative emerged from Environmental Justice Forums/Townhalls where community members expressed interest in understanding health risks from water and air in their neighborhoods.

Volunteer Water Quality Monitoring: Intro and Onboarding
The South Dakota Discovery Center coordinates a volunteer water quality monitoring project in partnership with the South Dakota Department of Agriculture and Natural Resources (SD DANR). Volunteer water quality monitors collect water quality samples from a local water body and send those samples to state lab. The data is used by the SD DANR to understand the water quality of South Dakota's lakes and stream. This volunteer data is used by SD DANR in the bi-annual report to Congress on the condition of the state's waters. If you are interested in learning more about the volunteer water quality monitoring program and what is involved in becoming a volunteer monitor, you are invited to attend this introductory onboarding meeting. Additional in person training will be required to become a volunteer monitor. This training will be held via Zoom.

Urban Arboriculture Arborist Program (UAAP)
Native Tree Farm and Research (NTFR) Urban Arboriculture Arborist Summer Camp introduces campers to the science, stewardship, and hands-on work of caring for urban environments. Students (ages 16-24) learn invasive pest control care and behavior observations while tackling DC region's invasive spotted lanternfly environments. Participants will explore DC's tree canopy with certified arborists, study tree biology, health and soil science, monitor, capture and assess lanternflies, collect specimens and record data, learn invasive pest control strategies that protect urban ecosystems, observe climbing demonstrations and learn pruning basics, and discover how trees support climate resilience. Participants develop practical arboriculture skills and explore careers in forestry, landscaping and conservation through real-world problem-solving. Dates: June 22 - Aug. 7

CubeSat Camp Portland5
Campers will use programmable sensor packages and 3D printed cases to build their own CubeSat modules. CubeSats are designed to be nanosatellites similar to the 1200 CubeSats that have gone into space. Each CubeSat is 10cm x 10cm x 10cm and contains a sensor pack, controller, power supply, and data storage unit. Campers will design sensor missions and perform bench testing, with a weather-permitting field trip to Skydive New England Airport in Lebanon, Maine for high-altitude data collection at 14,000 feet. Campers keep their CubeSats and can continue programming them. Note: Possible 35% cost increase due to 2025 tariffs on electronics equipment.

New River Christmas Bird Count
The Christmas Bird Count, organized by the Audubon Society, is a North American citizen science survey that runs from December 14th through January 5th each year. Information gathered during these counts helps us to better understand the health and status of bird populations. Each year, Blue Ridge Discovery Center heads up to the New River CBC, centered around Sparta, NC. All ages and skill levels are welcome to participate! This event is free to all and we'll make a full day of it. Additional information will be sent to registered participants prior to the event.

New River Christmas Bird Count
The Christmas Bird Count, organized by the Audubon Society, is a North American citizen science survey that runs from December 14th through January 5th each year. Information gathered during these counts helps us to better understand the health and status of bird populations. Each year, Blue Ridge Discovery Center heads up to the New River CBC, centered around Sparta, NC. All ages and skill levels are welcome to participate! This event is free to all and we'll make a full day of it. Additional information will be sent to registered participants prior to the event.
