Last week we said goodbye to our two wonderful summer students, Siena Armstrong and Lauren MacDonald. They each brought passion, hard work, and unique expertise to their work, which will have a lasting impact on our network.

Lauren kept our equipment bank running smoothly as our Equipment & Training Coordinator, where she connected with our community partners, identified gaps in our resources, and developed new and improved training and monitoring resources as a result.
It has been an absolute joy to work with Siena and Lauren this summer. We’d like to express a resounding THANK YOU and look forward to watching them excel in their careers.
Thank you to @CleanFoundation for their support through the Clean Leadership Program.

In 2020, AWN took a magnifying glass to water quality data on Atlantic DataStream. This helped us identify why water quality data is lacking in certain local watersheds. Finding these gaps helped us shape our programming and provide support where it’s needed most.
