Montana Department of Environmental Quality (MT DEQ) Volunteer Monitoring Support Program supports volunteer monitoring in several ways:

  • Financial support, such as our Volunteer Monitoring Lab Analysis Program;
  • Technical support, such as trainings and guidance documents;
  • Administering volunteer monitoring opportunities; and
  • Forming partnerships with other entities in the state that also support volunteer monitoring
The MT DEQ's Water Resources Seminar is another great resource to utilize. There are several videos on the website on a variety of subjects related to water quality. 

MSU Extension Water Quality Program (MSUEWQ) offers the Data Hub. It provides storage and visualization of surface water data and photos collected by citizen scientists and groups across Montana. Contact Adam Sigler, the Extension Associate Specialist with questions or email ExtensionWater@montana.edu
