The Michigan Clean Water Corps (MiCorps) hosts an annual conference each fall to report on volunteer monitoring activities in the state. Training is provided at the conference for interested volunteers and volunteer coordinators. The conference provides an excellent opportunity to stay up to date on monitoring methods and to meet and interact with other volunteer monitors.
Note: Training sessions held at the annual conference do not meet the training requirements for participants of the Cooperative Lakes Monitoring Program (CLMP). For more information on the CLMP training requirements, please view the lake monitoring training page.
