PLEON conducts free workshops focusing on lake ecology and management. Workshops feature scientists working at the forefront of lake ecology and facilitate interactions and collaborations among lake scientists, landowners, and the public. Workshops cover topics such as basic lake ecology, sampling methods and equipment, as well as common management challenges in the Poconos.
