The oldest lake program I know of is now called the Ontario Lake Partner
\nProgram. It was started in 1972. In the US, the first program was started
\nin Minnesota in 1973 at the University of Minnesota. It subsequently was
\ntaken over by the State and has become, I believe, the largest volunteer
\nlake monitoring program in the world. Hats off to thee, Minnesota!<\/p>\n
Maine and Michigan came in about then as well.<\/p>\n
At the Madison Volunteer Monitoring Meeting, someone was putting together a history of volunteer monitoring. Did that ever get published?<\/p>\n

To add to the chronological list of volunteer lake monitoring programs…<\/p>\n
The New Hamsphire Department of Environmental Services’ Volunteer Lake Assessment Program (NH VLAP) was initiated in 1985 with one lake. In 2003, 154 lakes and approximately 500 volunteers participated in NH VLAP.<\/p>\n
Thanks,<\/p>\n

Virginia Lee wrote an article titled “Volunteer Monitoring : A Brief History” for the Spring 1994 issue of The Volunteer Monitor newsletter . The timeline included in that article basically agrees with the timeline below from Elizabeth Herron, except that the newsletter article puts the dates for the earliest lake monitoring programs as 1973-1974 for Minnesota , Michigan, and Maine.<\/p>\n
(Elizabeth, where did you get that 1971 figure, and which program does it refer to?)<\/p>\n
To read Virginia’s article, see the EPA web site for back issues of the newsletter, at www.epa.gov\/owow\/volunteer\/vm_index.html<\/p>\n

Hi,<\/p>\n
In Maine, volunteer lake monitors were involved informally with the state DEP starting 1971. In 1974 the program formalized into the Maine Volunteer Lake Monitoring Program.<\/p>\n
We use the “one of the oldest…” line.<\/p>\n
