Blue Thumb volunteers are the ultimate citizen scientists! They monitor local streams, submit data, and educate the public about protecting streams and rivers.
Give Oklahoma’s water a hand! Volunteer!
Help get the word out! Blue Thumb training is coming to Weatherford! All kinds of people volunteer for this award-winning citizen scientist program. A few things about Blue Thumb:
Over 90 streams are actively monitored across the state.
Ages are middle school through retirement
Teachers can attend and then request a “mini-academy” that prepares students for monitoring
Participants receive the “Project WET 2.0 Guide” that is filled with water activities for all ages, plus certification as a WET (water education today) facilitator
Both days are required to be a monitoring volunteer. Those who to be an education only volunteer can choose to attend only Saturday
