Rangeley Lakes Heritage Trust needs water quality volunteers for the 2023 season. Volunteers collect clarity, dissolved oxygen data, and total phosphorus biweekly on regional water bodies.

Each year, the trust appeals to the community to lend a hand; there are three ways to help.

First, one can become a certified water quality monitor and gather data biweekly through spring, summer and fall.

Second, volunteers can captain their motorized boat to bring a monitor out to a designated station on the larger bodies of water. Current needs are on Upper Richardson, Aziscohos and Parmacheenee lakes.

Third, homeowners could allow the trust’s monitors to use their canoe or kayak biweekly on smaller water bodies. Current needs are on Dodge, Round, West Richardson, Little Kennebago, Sandy River ponds, Beaver, and Lincoln Pond and Pond in the River.

The trust is always looking for new team members and appreciates any help from the community.

Those who can help can email the 2023 Headwaters coordinator, Julia Morin, at headwaters@rlht.org.
