Lake Erie Volunteer Science Network - ​‍Water Rangers' Lake Erie Rangers

This data was collected by ​ Water Rangers' Lake Erie Rangers program as a part of the Lake Erie Volunteer Network Sampling program. 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 Lake Erie.

The Lake Erie Rangers (formerly the Lake Erie Guardians) project is a community-driven initiative by Water Rangers, designed to enhance water quality monitoring across the Lake Erie basin, with a particular focus on the Niagara region and the western basin of the lake. Through this program, community scientists play a vital role in collecting data on key parameters. The Lake Erie Rangers are part of the Lake Erie Volunteer Science Network and also collect data using YSI.

This dataset includes only the 4 core sampling parameters collected as a part of the LEVSN program.
