Lake Stewardship Program - Volunteer Lake Monitor

About this opportunity

Volunteer lake monitors are an invaluable asset to the Lake Stewardship Program, which monitors the water quality of small lakes in King County to assess real and potential changes over time. Volunteer monitors collect vast amounts of data for King County Lakes that otherwise wouldn't be collected. The program provides training, detailed guides, and video resources to help volunteers learn proper monitoring procedures, including how to use equipment like Secchi Disks and Van Dorn water samplers.

What you'll do

• Collect water samples using proper techniques and equipment
• Measure water clarity using Secchi Disks
• Record and report water quality data
• Participate in seasonal monitoring events
• Follow detailed monitoring procedures and guidelines
