The Brewery Flats Water Quality Project began back in 1993. After attending a Water Quality Workshop at the Canyon Ferry Limnological Institute in the summer of 1993, a group of teacher in the Missouri River Watershed designed a plan to monitor water quality. All the teachers began using a water quality monitoring standard estabilished by Mark Mitchell, and his book Field Guide for Water Quality Monitoring. This years trip to the Brewery Flats Restoration area has been moved to Thursday, September 22, 2011. Parents are welcome to come along and be a part of this years Fall trip. We will try to get to the Brewery Flats area again some time in the Spring in either April or May. This Year members of the local BLM office will be on site and talk about jobs with BLM.
