Help keep our surface water clean! Orange County is partnering with the UF/ IFAS LAKEWATCH program to train and equip volunteers to test the water quality of local lakes. Volunteers will need to have lake access (i.e. a canoe or watercraft) to collect samples from 3 interior sites in the lake and transportation to deliver water samples to one of the LAKEWATCH drop-off locations. The time commitment for this opportunity is a few hours each month for 1 year+. Email Volunteer Coordinator at evip@ocfl.net for more information.
