Following three successful seasons of Winter LakeKeepers beginning in the winter of 2018-2019, the Alberta Lake Management Society (ALMS), delivered a fourth Winter LakeKeepers season during winter 2021-2022, the results of which are presented in this report.
As in previous seasons, the volunteer effort consisted primarily of volunteers associated with Watershed Planning and Advisory Councils (WPACs), or Watershed Stewardship Groups (WSGs), but also included some ice anglers and partner organizations. 2021- 2022 is the third season to include multiple sampling events at specific sites on lakes, as well as multiple sampling sites per lake. It is also the second season which included the collection of preserved phytoplankton samples, isotope samples, and additional water chemistry parameters.
