Students and residents throughout New Jersy can help keep our streams and rivers healthy by participating in a statewide water quality monitoring program called StreamWatch Schools. Davis Bush will describe the importance of the program and provide details on how to collect water samples, test water quality, submit data, and access data submitted by others. He will also discuss how, through land conservation, green infrastructure, and the use of native plants, we can help protect our streams from pollution and stormwater runoff.

Davis Bush studied marine science and sustainability at Stony Brook University. He is passionate about empowering young people to fight for the social changes that are important to them. As the Coordinator of StreamWatch Schools, which is housed in the education department of The Watershed Institute, Mr. Bush provides students with the tools and platform they need to take action.
