The Idaho Conservation League is hosting a water quality steward training for our water quality monitoring program that takes place every summer from June-September on Lake Pend Oreille. 

During this training session, you will learn:

• what parameters ICL samples/tests for and what they indicate

• How to use a vertical sampling device to collect a water sample

• How to take a surface water sample

• How to use a Secchi disk to determine appropriate sampling depth 

• What this data can be used for

• What the data tells us about the health of our lake

…and more! 

What to bring:

• Water bottle

• Sun protection

• Camping chair if desired 

• Appropriate attire for water sampling 

* This training is open to the public, and you are encouraged to attend if you are interested in our water quality monitoring program!

* Volunteer water quality stewards are required to attend a training session
