Lake Monitor Volunteer Training

Join the Richland Soil and Water Conservation District award-winning volunteer team by becoming a Lake Monitor. Volunteers monitor at Clear Fork, Charles Mill and Pleasant Hill Reservoir. Volunteers will learn how to record water clarity, color, temperature and depth and will monitor conditions at Clear Fork, Charles Mill and Pleasant Hill Lakes.  Volunteers add data onto the Richland Soil and Water Conservation District website in real-time so must have access to the internet. We partner with the Ohio Lake Management Society – Citizen Lake Awareness and Monitoring (OLMS-CLAM) for training and equipment. Data is also shared on their website. Wear weather appropriate clothing and footwear.
