'Stream Teams' Win Recognition

Sixteen volunteers, members of GSWA’s five "stream teams," were recognized recently by the Ten Towns Great Swamp Watershed Management Committee for their help in gathering water-quality and -quantity data in the five streams that feed into the Great Swamp National Wildlife Refuge.

The project, now in its second year, is being coordinated by GSWA in conjunction with the Ten Towns Committee. The data gathered was cited as "important information that would not have been available without the effort and assistance of the volunteers" by J. Peter Braun, executive director of the Ten Towns Committee.

An analysis of the data has been prepared by environmental consultant F. X. Browne of Lansdale, PA, and is available at the GSWA office.

The volunteers were honored at a dinner hosted by the Ten Towns Committee, and given "Stream Team" sweatshirts in recognition of their contribution.

Honored were Bill Allen, Joe Attamante, Neil Borman, Lou Caprioglio, Kelly Curran, Roger Edwards, Gene Fox, Pam Harding, Kris Joppe-Mercure, Ned Kirby, Bob Lowary, Allan Luisi, Lee Pollock, Beth Romero, Blaine Rothauser; and Joanne White.

The Ten Towns Committee was founded in 1995 to develop a regional approach to monitoring and improving the health of the 55-square-mile Great Swamp Watershed. (See the Spring 2000 edition of Across the Watershed for additional information.)
