For the past five years, dedicated CCC residents who care about their local creeks have spent thousands of hours of the weekend and weeknight hours in the classroom learning monitoring techniques or knee-deep in the creeks collecting data. This book is a partial summary of their work in progress and is intended to show what has been accomplished already, to provide a glimpse of what the completed monitoring can tell us, and to inspire volunteers to keep up the good work.
