Sign up to be a Team Leader at the 26th Annual Tahoe Truckee Snapshot Day!
Snapshot Day is an annual water quality monitoring event held each May. Groups of volunteers fan out across the Truckee River Watershed to take samples from creeks, streams, and lakes—including Lake Tahoe—to capture a snapshot of Tahoe’s water quality at a moment in time. Volunteers of all ages and skill levels are encouraged to join us as we sample various sites around South Lake Tahoe for things like dissolved oxygen, pH, nutrients and more! To learn more about Snapshot Day and to view the 2024 map and Annual Snapshot Day Report, click here.
At the Team Leader Training, team leaders will learn how to collect data for the day accurately and how to guide their team of 5-10 citizen scientists to success by conducting water sampling at different locations around South Lake Tahoe. You can choose your own team members or be assigned a group of volunteers.
Team leaders (new and returning) are required to attend the training. This is where you will get hands on practice using all of the testing materials that we will be using in the field on Snapshot Day and be able to ask any questions of our Snapshot Day experts. We will also confirm your sampling locations during this training.
