Every spring and summer, LCC trains and oversees community science volunteers to report on cyanobacteria conditions in their area. This program provides critical data on where and when blooms are happening and helps inform public health officials as to whether the water is safe for swimming.
Join us for an online training via Zoom to learn about the cyanobacteria monitoring program. Read on to learn more and sign up for our Cyanobacteria Monitoring Program: Read...

Do you have an event, gallery space, or other venue you think would make a good host for these art displays?

LCC's Champlain Aquatic invasive Monitoring Program (CHAMP), recruits, trains, and supports volunteers to survey for AIS at sites throughout Lake Champlain. Volunteers paddle or walk along a shoreline site, rake in samples of aquatic life, assess what they’ve gathered, and report their findings of key target invasive species to LCC via an online form. CHAMP volunteers help us gather important data to combat AIS spread. We’ll provide you with a toolkit to help you identify target AIS, train you in surveying techniques, teach you how to do a rake toss to find nuisance aquatics, and support you in assessing conditions and filing reports. Join us for a training session to learn about CHAMP. Read on to learn more and sign up to volunteer with CHAMP: Read...
