About this organization
The Lake Erie Rangers (formerly the Lake Erie Guardians) is a Water Rangers community-driven initiative designed to enhance water quality monitoring across the Lake Erie basin, with a particular focus on the Niagara region and the western basin of the lake. Through this program, citizen scientists play a vital role in collecting data on key contaminants, including PFAS, nutrients, and chloride (road salts). By addressing critical gaps in regional water quality data, the project supports innovative pilot programs to develop and refine new monitoring methods.
This ambitious three-year project (2024–2027) is made possible through a $330,000 grant from the Canada Water Agency under the Freshwater Ecosystems Initiative.
