Thanks to The Community Foundation of Jackson Hole for recognizing our work to help restore Fish Creek. And more importantly, for the grant to help us pay for that work.
The Thrive Grant we received helps us operate and maintain four water quality sensors on the Fish Creek USGS gage. The sensors measure dissolved oxygen, pH, conductivity, and turbidity, providing publicly accessible data that helps scientists, agencies, landowners, and community partners better understand changing conditions in the creek.
It’s timely recognition on the heels of last weeks release of the Teton Conservation District Fish Creek Watershed Plan. The plan is a roadmap to restore Fish Creek from its twin impairments of E. Coli and nutrient pollution. The years long effort will marshal millions in funding, and this monitoring gauge will play an integral part.
