2024 Cooperative Lakes Monitoring Program Online Training
April 30, 2024
9 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. (ET)
via ZOOM
Please join the MiCorps Cooperative Lakes Monitoring Program (CLMP) online lake monitoring training on April 30, 2024. Training is required for new participants in the program and for anyone signing up for a new parameter. It is also beneficial for people looking for a refresher or those curious about how CLMP may help protect their favorite lake. This is a free event.
Note: To monitor your lake through the CLMP, you will need to register at www.micorps.net/lake-monitoring/become-a-volunteer. The CLMP training is free, but there are small fees to enroll in the monitoring program itself. You may participate in training at any time, regardless of whether you've registered to monitor your lake or not.
