Snowpack Monitoring with NRCS!
 
This week, Brian Domonkos of NRCS trained
Big Sky Watershed Members in snowpack monitoring. The group hiked up to a SNOTEL site in Hyalite Canyon to observe sampling methods. Big Sky Members hope to create teams of community members who will monitor SNOTEL sites for years to come.
