Join Us for the Summer of 2024

AIS Field Season

Lake Stewards of Maine (LSM) is looking for volunteers to join the Aquatic Invasive Species (AIS) team during our 2024 summer field season. Volunteers are key to our efforts, and we seek dedicated and active friends to assist us next year. Volunteers will aid LSM staff in surveying and rapid response efforts across Maine, help recruit local volunteers, and assist with workshops. AIS volunteers can expect to get on the water training, learn about native and invasive plant identification and classification, and see beautiful lakes in every corner of the State, including during our weeklong Northern Maine Initiative trip to Cross Lake.

Volunteers can start assisting LSM right now in planning for our 2024 adventures. Those interested in raising awareness about AIS in Maine and having a true summer adventure learn more by emailing [email protected].
