Volunteers are needed to drive a designated route, with a partner, three times on Saturday, August 6, 2022. Each drive should take 45 minutes to an hour, then that’s it! The parties in charge will take the data recorded and create a map showing where the heat islands exist in our community so that we can begin working on getting rid of them. There is a $100.00 stipend for the participants.
This project involves mapping 160 square miles of urban and urbanizing Columbia and Richland County in a single day – and we can’t do it without you.
The survey is planned for Saturday, August 6th! We’re still working on the details – please let us know you’re interested in helping by signing up below, and we’ll be in touch!
Volunteers will use specially designed sensors mounted on their own cars , and will drive pre-planned routes three times on the appointed day — morning, afternoon, and evening — recording temperature, humidity, and their precise location every second.
Our programs are designed to restore Gills Creek, educate the surrounding community, and advocate for its continued protection.
Take a look.
