FOSR Home : Monitor!

The "backbone" of the Friends of the Shenandoah River (FOSR) Water Monitor Program is our monitors.  Twice a month, over 80 dedicated monitors take approximately 150 water samples covering 7 counties in the Shenandoah Valley. Each county has a lead monitor who is responsible for training new monitors, coordinating sampling dates and providing updated information from the FOSR lab. If you would like to become a part of the FOSR monitoring team in your area, please contact the following lead monitor:
