Welcome to the DNR online AIS volunteer refresher training. All volunteers are welcomed to take this AIS volunteer refresher training for the 2021 season. We will resume our in-person volunteer training classes when it is safe to do so.
Videos
Please watch the six part video series to refresh yourself about aquatic invasive species, watercraft inspection, and the DNR's volunteer program. If you would like a DVD copy of this training, please contact Adam Doll.
Required Safety Videos and Information
COVID-19 Safety Guidelines: Those who volunteer with people outside of their immediate household must complete the COVID-19 Preparedness Plan Training for Volunteers and follow the Volunteer Tennessen Notice and Health Screening Questions.
