Calling all nature buffs! Sunset Pond needs a guardian, and it could be you. The City of Burnsville is on the hunt for a volunteer willing to paddle out and track the water quality of this local natural gem. no prior experience is necessary, but would-be water watchers must bring their canoe, kayak, or stand-up paddleboard to carry out the mission, as reported by the City of Burnsville, Minnesota - Municipal Government.

The task at hand requires dedication – volunteers are asked to conduct bi-weekly monitoring from the comforts of their personal watercraft, which isn't provided, beginning in mid-April and continuing through mid-October.
