B.C. Volunteer Lake Monitoring Program Brochures

Through a co-operative effort between the Ministry of Environment, the non-profit B.C. Lake Stewardship Society and volunteer groups, valuable limnology data were collected by volunteers on eight lakes — Bednesti Lake, Chief Lake, Fraser Lake, Moberly Lake, Nukko Lake, Purden Lake, Swan Lake and West Lake — with the lab funding being provided by the ministry. This data was analyzed and interpreted by ministry staff and summarized in small, easy-to-read brochures.
