Lake Monitoring Training


Training is required for new volunteers and anyone signing up for a new parameter. It is also beneficial for people looking for a refresher or those curious about how the CLMP may help protect their lake. Important: Attending training is not the same as enrolling your lake in the CLMP. Visit Become a Volunteer to enroll.
