The French, Hay, and Pickering Creeks of northern Chester County and Berks County are vital tributaries to the Schuylkill River. Now, you can join the effort to keep them beautiful as a Schuylkill Water Steward volunteer!

As a Schuylkill Water Steward volunteer, you will participate in fun and engaging training sessions through which you will learn about the science of healthy watersheds, threats to our local streams, water sampling techniques, and more.

Following your training, you’ll get to work monitoring and protecting area streams, by:

• Monitoring water quality,

• Keeping an eye on stormwater,

• Assessing streamside habitats,

• Observing and recording aquatic wildlife,

• Planting and managing streamside buffers.

Plus, you'll play a vital role in a multi-state, science-based effort to protect and the restore the Delaware River Watershed, of which the Schuylkill Watershed is a part.
