Salt Watch (year-round)
Loudoun Wildlife Conservancy’s Salt Watch Program helps monitor and understand the impact of road salt on local streams. Volunteers are needed to collect monthly and winter data about the salt levels in streams around the county, and we are specifically looking for volunteers in the Leesburg, Sterling, South Riding, Round Hill and Purcellville areas. Visit the Salt Watch page for more information about the program and how to volunteer.
FrogWatch Monitoring (February through September)
Join our amphibian monitoring efforts by providing data about frogs in Loudoun County. Participation consists of learning the various calls of our local frog/toad species using the instructional material we provide and then monitoring a specific location of your choice for calls. FrogWatch requires minimal time commitment and is a great activity for family participation. If you are interested, please complete the Amphibian/Reptile Volunteer Application.
