September 2026 First Saturday Seminar

Community science is a huge part of our water quality monitoring here at CFRW, so we can’t wait to hear from CleanAIRE NC’s Community Science Manager Natalie Smith this weekend!

Natalie’s presentation will highlight the fundamentals of air quality monitoring and provide an overview of their AirKeeper Program. Through this program, community members serve as AirKeeper hosts, and CleanAIRE NC provides them with low-cost air sensors for real-time monitoring, right at home. By pairing local air quality data and your lived experience, you can empower your community with the tools to share their own stories and advocate for cleaner air.

Join us before the seminar at 8 a.m. for free coffee and pancakes courtesy of our fall interns!
