Lake Erie Volunteer Science Network (LEVSN)
About the Lake Erie Volunteer Science Network (LEVSN)
Lake Erie Volunteer Science Network (LEVSN) is a regional community of practice that empowers community members to collect, share, and engage with water quality data for the conservation and enrichment of our Great Lake and all who call it home.
Engage with LEVSN
LEVSN COLLABORATING PARTNERS leverage the standardized data and educational tools produced by the Lake Erie Baseline Assessment Framework to answer research and management questions, activate residents, and catalyze collective impact across the Lake Erie Basin. They are a vast network of educators, researchers, innovators, and agencies that value collaborating with volunteer science groups and are committed to helping shape their priorities and evaluating the effectiveness of their programs.
LEVSN LOCAL HUBS organize community volunteers to engage in critical monitoring efforts that keep a finger on the pulse of local water quality and answer locally relevant scientific questions about water resources. They span conservation districts, watershed groups, parks systems, and government entities that serve as boots on the ground, protecting local water resources across the Lake Erie Basin.
