Virginia Save Our Streams Training
Workshops
Since 1996,
we have been supported by public and private grants to train
interested citizens to be biological stream monitors. The great
majority of those traditional grants have become unavailable since
October 2002. We are in a position of having to charge for our
training and data management services. At the same time we are
developing a fund that we will use to subsidize the cost to
those folks who may not be in a position to pay the full amount.
Recently we have had two unsolicited contributions from the Beirne
Carter Foundation and the Austin Family Foundation. Those generous
gifts will begin the
Va SOS
Training and Support Fund
.
We will charge
$500.00 per day per staff trainer plus travel expenses. Workshops
that require extensive handouts may have additional charges to
reflect these costs. Please do not let the cost deter you from
initiating the development of a stream monitoring network. Tell us
what you want and we will calculate a cost projection. We will
work with you to find a source of support for the project .
Thanks! |
