Working from kayaks and canoes, Minnesota Conservation Corps crews are gathering scientific data in central Minnesota to determine if sections of waters are impaired, including the Pomme De Terre, Snake and North Fork of the Crow Rivers. Two crews of five young adults will work sections of the rivers to document pollutant and stressor sources, validate land use and gather geomorphic data. Conservation Corps crews are assisting the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency.
