In this episode host we sit down with Bradley Peter, Executive Director of the Alberta Lake Management Society (ALMS). Together, we delve into the world of lakes, exploring how this nonprofit has been working to enhance our understanding of Alberta's lakes and their watersheds for over 30 years. We’ll dive into the specifics of their Lake Keepers Program, a citizen science initiative that empowers individuals to collect water quality data in both summer and winter, shedding light on lake health, potential risks, and long-term trends. From tracking nutrient levels to monitoring oxygen in winter lakes, we’ll reveal the fascinating insights and vital contributions that come from this community-based monitoring program.
