Sample Collecting Volunteers

Sampling occurs on the 2nd Saturday of each month from March through November. All samplers must attend a training in order for our data to be accepted by the Ohio EPA.

Lab Volunteers

We use SignUpGenius to signup lab volunteers- just to make sure you don't drive to the lab needlessly. You will need to contact Lynn to receive the link for the parking pass for Miami.
