VOLUNTEER SIGN UP
Thanks to the hard work of dedicated volunteers and environmental scientists last spring and summer, the Crystal Lake Conservancy obtained initial data on algae blooms, depth visibility and temperature changes that could indicate some potential  issues.  Now the Conservancy is looking for volunteers to continue this important investigation in two areas during the spring and summer:

Water Testing – Spring/Summer 2011
The CLC is continuing its Water Testing/Monitoring program. Temperature and visibility readings along with bacterial, chemical and metal sample water tests will be conducted on various sites on Crystal Lake.  We are in need of volunteers to help us collect the data/samples throughout the summer.  Group training for volunteers will be provided.
Watershed Survey – Spring/Summer 2011
The CLC will be conducting a ground survey of the Crystal Lake Watershed to assess potential water quality effects from storm water systems, run off, impervious surfaces and land uses (fertilizer applications, pesticide uses, dog refuse in storm drains).  We are in need of volunteers to help us collect this data.   The survey is on foot through the Crystal Lake neighborhood noting key observations.  Group training for the volunteers will be provided.
