Join us at The Optimist Raleigh to mark some storm drains! The first few folks to pick up their storm drain markers at The Optimist Raleigh, mark a drain, take a selfie, and return to the table will receive a City of Raleigh coffee mug! What is Storm Drain Marking? Storm Drain Marking is a stormwater volunteer program that raises awareness between the connections of stormwater drainage systems, local waterways, andthe impacts of pollutants. Help us make sure everyone knows that only rain should go down the storm drain! Note: This is a drop in event. Registration is not required.

Join Stormwater staff for a training workshop for the stream monitoring program! About the Workshop The course will cover basic stream ecology, how to collect water quality samples, and include time for volunteers to practice sampling in the creek. Please come prepared to get a little wet and muddy in the creek. Long pants and boots are strongly encouraged. Registration for this workshop is required.
