Water Quality Monitoring & Citizen ScientistsDid you know that our Citizen Scientists have monitored water quality at 15 locations across Lake Pend Oreille and the Pend Oreille River since 2012?
We're accepting new volunteers to become Citizen Scientists with our well-established Water Quality Monitoring Program (WQMP); an effort to measure changes in water quality across the Lake Pend Oreille and the Pend Oreille River over time.
If you enjoy water and are passionate about active stewardship, this volunteer program offers the chance to participate in a rewarding scientific effort.
