Help us map dog waste in the Truckee Meadows as a Poop Plotter Community Scientist!
Your poop plots will help define the scope of the dog waste problem in our parks
and open spaces - spreading awareness, targeting resources, and keeping our
public spaces safe and clean.
-
Every time it rains or snow melts, dog waste is washed into drains and storm sewers. The waste, full of unhealthy bacteria, flows with the stormwater directly into ponds, lakes, and rivers.
-
In high enough quantities, the bacteria and parasites found in dog waste cause bodies of water to become unsafe for recreation activities like swimming and fishing.
