January 14th, 2025 | What's the Big Deal with Lincoln Creek? - Join the Roaring Fork Conservancy for a presentation by Megan McConville, Ph.D., Water Quality Specialist at Colorado Parks & Wildlife and Chad Rudow, Water Quality Program Manager at Roaring Fork Conservancy. It’s been in the news a lot over the last two years but how well do you know it? We’ll take you on a quick tour of Lincoln Creek, discuss historical sampling and recent concerns, and share how exactly scientists measure, test, and monitor a stream at 10,000 feet. Then, once we have all the samples, what happens to them? And how do we expect this data to inform future work? Learn more HERE
