Give the Gift of Clean Water – Adopt a Creekwatchers Site!
The Adopt-a-Site program invites community members to sponsor a Wicomico River Creekwatchers water-quality monitoring site, helping to cover the costs of sampling and analysis. By sponsoring a site, you directly support local efforts to monitor the health of the watershed, providing vital information to the public while informing local and regional decision-making.
