A Call To Action!
Neighbors and friends of Pawtuckaway,
Have you heard the latest about what is happening to your lake?
Are you concerned about . . .
The clear-cutting of trees right up to the shoreline that has taken place at a handful of properties around the lake? In 2008 the legislature revised the Comprehensive Shoreland Protection Act to have stricter rules. Do you know what the law says?
Are you concerned about . . .
The number of fishing tournaments on the lake? This year the Department of Fish and Game has licensed tournaments on May 2nd and 8th, June 19th, two on July 10th, July 11th and 24th, August 7th, 14th, 22nd and 28th, September 11th, 12th, 18th, 25th, October 2nd and 3rd. That’s seventeen tournaments this year!
Are you concerned that . . .
As of last year, sixty-eight New Hampshire lakes have been infected with exotic milfoil, including Northwood Lake which is just ten miles from Pawtuckaway! According to a University of New Hampshire study, those who live on lakes could see property values drop as much as 16 percent if milfoil isn’t treated. The most effective way to combat milfoil is treatment with a systemic herbicide. Do you want to swim in a herbicide?
Have you ever wondered . . .
Why we often see greenish stringy algae in August? Can you tell the difference between toxic cyanobacteria and the more benign forms of algae? Is there anything you can do to promote the health of Pawtuckaway?
Are you concerned about . . .
The way the Town of Nottingham is managing its most valuable resource? Who can you go to in town government to voice your concerns about what is happening here on the lake?
If you are concerned about Pawtuckaway, so are we!
