• Direct Funding: The Springs Run directly funds FSI’s SpringsWatch citizen science program that provides volunteers with hands-on training in the field.
• Volunteer Training: Volunteers learn all aspects of water quality monitoring and get to know the wildlife and plants that depend on springs systems.
