Source tracking. What is it? Why are we doing it? How does it help fix the French Broad’s E. coli problem? Join Hartwell Carson, the French Broad Riverkeeper, and Dr. Joseph Craine, from Jonah Ventures, in a webinar-based discussion about analyzing water samples for DNA. Being able to see what’s in our waterway, will help us tackle E.coli issues in a much more targeted way. MountainTrue has been working on this with Jonah Ventures for the last several months and is ready to share our results and what they mean for the French Broad.
Join us for this year's Riverkeeper Beer Series! Come ready to float, clean up our river, and taste the release of the Riverkeeper Beer at the after-party. The clean-up will be on June 12th from 1-5 pm, ending at Wicked Weed for a celebratory beer. We will meet at the Pearson Bridge put in at 1 pm and take out in Woodfin. We'll put in on the river and pick up trash along the way. Then, we'll all head to Wicked Weed for some great beer!
