The Lake Erie Volunteer Science Network (LEVSN), unites 16 geographically diverse volunteer water quality monitoring groups from Ann Arbor to Buffalo to develop a cohesive approach to volunteer water monitoring across the Lake Erie basin.
Led by the Cleveland Water Alliance (CWA), LEVSN has evolved into a regional force for community-driven water stewardship, harnessing data, technology, and collaboration to protect our shared natural resources. Regular communication among participants, including the Clinton River Watershed Council, Cleveland Metroparks, and Buffalo Niagara Waterkeeper, empowers the exchange of best practices and supports emerging local groups, fostering unity and knowledge sharing.
