Oklahoma Blue Thumb

Oklahoma Blue Thumb We are the proud home of Oklahoma Project WET and Project WILD. Education is a vital part of the Oklahoma Nonpoint Source (NPS) Program.

Blue Thumb is a statewide program of the Oklahoma Conservation Commission that trains volunteers to monitor streams in their communities & share their knowledge of water quality with others. The Blue Thumb Education Program is the water quality education arm of the Oklahoma Conservation Commission Water Quality Division. Blue Thumb trains volunteers to monitor streams in their
communities, conduct

groundwater screenings, and to share their knowledge of water quality with others. Volunteers include an array of student groups, Girl and Boy Scout troops, families, couples, and individual citizens monitoring approximately 80 streams across Oklahoma. Volunteer monitoring can help identify streams in need of restoration. Blue Thumb staff participate in OCC restoration projects by organizing and participating in watershed stakeholder meetings in project watersheds. Outreach efforts often include tours of demonstration farms showcasing best management practices that protect water quality, hosting community workshops, and publicizing events through the media. Blue Thumb education programs are funded by Section 319 Clean Water Act grants from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
