Everyone has a wish list. Even your river!
These are the tools that make the magic happen for caring people like you in action! Every little bit helps.
- Van or 4 door-Truck – FOTR is in need of a reliable, safe form of transportation to host and attend events across the watershed. Ideally, this vehicle would have the capacity to tow our 15′ trailer full of plants/equipment.
- (8) Dissecting Microscopes – Teachers, students, volunteers, bug hunt “Team Leaders”, and guests rely on these “scopes” to make merry science in the Friends of the Rouge lab! Your kindness opens the doors (and the eyes) to discovery! WALTER QZA/QZB ZOOM STEREO MICROSCOPES, (#QZA, BINOCULAR)
- USPS stamps – Ahhh… it is fun to get snail mail thank you notes from Friends! If you have extra “Forever” stamps, an old stamp collection that you no longer want to store, or simply a stash of stamps that you will never lick – we’ll take them with gratitude!
- Chemical Standards – We all have standards – and so do the hardy instruments that Friends use to measure River health. Give the gift of chemicals and support long-term River monitoring!
- Kneeling Pads — for volunteers to garden in comfort for a better Rouge River.
- High-side landscape trailer — to haul the dirt and mulch!
- MPD Infiltrometer + 10 test packet — measures how fast water moves through the soil on its way to your River
- Freestanding Booth “Pod” — the perfect office addition for a growing staff to serve you better. Your kindness makes it possible to get the work done!
- Laptop Projector – so that the River can come to you!
- Orvis Women’s Clearwater Wading Boots – Rubber Sole (Women’s Size 8 and Women’s Size 9) – for the hard, muddy work of saving your River
