Friends of the Inyo Citizen Science

Our citizen science programs are dedicated to growing hands-on citizen stewards to care for public lands to ensure our natural and recreational resources will be maintained for future generations. All ages are welcome! Join our efforts to monitor the priceless water quality, endangered species and cultural resources of the Eastern Sierra by participating in one of our two citizen science programs, Eastern Sierra water Watchers and the Fish Slough Volunteer Patrol. 

Ian Bell, FOI's Watershed Technician, oversees the Eastern Sierra Water Watchers, a program that ensures Eastern Sierra streams and watersheds remain beautiful and pristine, and the Fish Slough Volunteer Patrol, a partnership with the Bishop BLM to proect the wonderful ecological and cultural resources of the Fish Slough Area of Critical Environmental Concern just north of Bishop.
