Cyanobacteria monitor training for the 2026 season has now closed. You're welcome to sign up to join the program for the 2027 season, and we'll contact you in April or May 2027 with training dates and next steps. Thank you for your interest in helping protect our lakes!
Training sessions are held online via Zoom and required for both new and veteran monitors to ensure we maintain a high standard for our community science volunteer monitoring program so that our data is taken seriously. Accurately assessing water conditions is like learning an instrument, it takes time and practice. Attending an annual training and reading the weekly emails are important parts of the practice of monitoring. Please sign up below!
