Volunteers needed for Lake Monitoring Program

Swan Valley - Love to spend time on lakes? Interested in water quality? The Northwest Montana Lakes Volunteer Monitoring Network (NWMTLVMN) is looking for lake property owners and/or homeowners, recreationists or just people who are interested in lakes to become volunteer monitors. There are currently 41 lakes in the program and many are in need of a volunteer including Holland Lake, Missoula County; Big Therriault Lake, Lincoln County and several lakes in Flathead County

Volunteers will receive training and equipment to assist them in data collection. However, volunteers will need their own boat (motorized or non-motorized) depending on the lake. Volunteers will be asked to monitor their lake(s) twice per month, weather permitting and will spend one summer day with the Whitefish Lake Institute staff collecting water chemistry data.

Training will be offered this spring and monitoring will begin late spring/early summer of 2020. The spring training date is May 2 from 10 a.m. – 12 p.m. at City Beach in Whitefish, Mont.

If you are interested in becoming a volunteer, or you know someone who is, contact the Whitefish Lake Institute at 406.862.4327, or send an email to cynthia@whitefishlake.org. To learn more, visit http://www.nwmtlvmn.org.
