GCA participated in Family Stream Day in Ashburn, Virginia on Saturday, October 19. The wonderful, outdoor event was well attended by students and their families from Loudoun County.  This is an interactive, environmental education event that Loudoun Environmental Stewardship Alliance (LESA), Loudoun Watershed Watch and Loudoun Water co-sponsored.

GCA hosted a booth with an educational activity demonstrating how stream monitoring helps  determine water quality in our streams. Attendees gain an understanding of the importance of keeping our waterways healthy and why we should preserve and protect them.
