Chicopee River Watershed Bacteria Sampling
The Palmer Conservation Commission, in partnership with the Chicopee 4 Rivers Watershed Council (C4RWC) will begin Bacteria sampling at select sites on Thursday June 8th, 2023. This year, a DEP grant will allow us to sample at more sites in Palmer! This sampling will inform watershed residents on the recreational health of the rivers in the basin. Results are posted on "Is it Clean?", a site in partnership with CRWC/PVPC.
