Welcome back Bobcats!  Come, play in a stream! 

Happy New Year!  Start your semester off right by ending the first week with a little stream monitoring!  Join us Friday, Jan. 16, 2026, for our first monitoring sessions of the semester.  We will visit several streams that run through or impact Georgia College & State University:  

• Champion Creek at Lake Laurel (9 - 10 a.m.) at Georgia College's East Campus
• Tobler Creek at Andalusia Farm (10:30 a.m. - 12 p.m.)
• Tanyard Creek by College Station (2:30 - 3:30 p.m.) 

No experience is necessary. Be sure to wear closed-toed shoes that can get wet. We will use Georgia Adopt-a-Stream methods to test temperature, dissolved oxygen, conductivity and pH of the streams — all while enjoying the beauty of Georgia College! Can't make it this time? No worries. We monitor monthly, so check back for more opportunities.

This is a GCSU Thirst for Knowledge event.
