Currently, a total of 14 volunteers plus one class from Highland Middle School, one class from Highland High School, a troup from the Boy Scouts of America, and the Ohio Underwater Research Association are participating in the program. All volunteers and group leaders took part in training and education sessions at the Woodlake Environmental Field Station in the CVNRA. Volunteers are assigned specific streams or other waterbodies that they survey on an ongoing basis. Upon completion of field outings, volunteers return data-sheets that document findings.
