Reflections On The Lake
|
"I think that it is education. How do you enjoy the lake without ruining it? Like any ecology, if it is overused it is going to develop problems. You have to learn to deal with the growth. People can’t afford to just have a good time on the lake without being responsible for what goes on. I don’t think that as a whole people are any different than they used to be, it’s just that there are so many more of them. Every little thing people do that effects the lake is being done by a lot of other people, it all adds up, nothing is insignificant." Joan Lukens |
| Lake Hosts Catch Exotic Species at Fundy Boat Launch |

The Lake Host program is already in full swing with volunteers working both the Fundy and State Park boat launches during the weekends. And, it is a really good thing that they are there. Saturday morning, May 3rd, Lake Host Volunteer Therese Thompson found an invasive species of plant, Water Chestnut, on a fisherman's boat trailer just before they launched their boat into the lake. Water Chestnut is on the NH Dept. of Environmental Services "Frightful Fourteen" most invasive exotic species list. These plants are some of the most feared species due to their ability to choke surface waters, harm native vegetation and wildlife, impact recreation, and lower property values. Thank you Lake Host Program participants for another "Save"!
