Last night I got a letter in the mail from the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency thanking me for monitoring streams for ten years. Ten Years? Wow, I didn't think I was doing this for ten years. When I first started monitoring I would get presents in the mail like a hat or a mug or a binder. Now the letter states that the volunteers said they don't need physical gifts like that so we just get a letter. That is fine with me. There is an appreciation gathering and I have attended a couple of those in the past. I might go again this year if it's convenient for me. I think the MPCA does a good job appreciating the volunteer efforts compared to some other agencies I have dealt with. I think it's nice to have a reason to view a stream every week. Spilling water on my shoes isn't so fun.
Hallaway
