Volunteer with Evergreen Conservancy! Do you like to be outside? Do you have 1 to 3 hours once or twice a month that you could volunteer? Time is very flexible. For just a little bit of your time you will be helping keep our water ways clean and protecting one of our greatest resources. Evergreen Conservancy is installing data loggers that record water quality in Indiana County streams and then volunteers are going out about twice a month to download the data. No experience is necessary. We will train you how to do it. Usually 2 or 3 people go out together. We can pair you up or if there are two or three of you we will show you what to do and where to go and help you until you feel comfortable doing it yourself. Please learn more about us and our project by reading more about our water monitoring project. If you can spare a few hours a month call Cindy at 724-349-4333 or e-mail her at rogers944@comcast.net or info@evergreenconservancy.org. Thanks in advance!

We received 25 beautiful pieces of art. Please go to “Projects” and then “Iron Oxide Initiative” to see more about this exciting project with the Indiana Arts Council. We sent out dried iron oxide collected from out Tanoma AMD site to artists. They used the iron in their art and sent us their pieces. We are thrilled with the creative beautiful results. The money raised in this project will benefit the Indiana Arts Council and Evergreen Conservancy. The bids were awarded December 7th at the Indiana Arts Council’s Annual Meeting at Coventry Inn. This project was so successful we will probably do it again next year. If you, as an artist, are interested in creating something with iron oxide – please contact us and we will be happy to send you some to experiment with!
We are an all volunteer non-profit organization. We carry on with grants, donations, memberships and our fall fundraising. We searched for a way to raise money without doing and damage to the environment and following the practice to re-use, recycle, and reduce. We came up with the idea to make things to sell from recycled, renewable and reused materials that we think are pretty interesting. Check our market place!
P.S. Think about giving a gift of an Evergreen Conservancy membership to the person who has everything!
Our datalogger water monitoring project is gaining momentum as we continue installing dataloggers and training more volunteers on the data collection process in the field. We have now completed full installations on 26 datalogger water monitoring sites in Indiana county.
We also have instructional guides for volunteers on how to correctly upload data in the field using our equipment and software. Check it out!
If you are interested in becoming a water monitoring volunteer with this project, please contact us at info@evergreenconservancy.com. Time commitments vary, and we are always looking for rotating volunteers to come on our bi-monthly uploads when their schedule allows!
