Reflections On The Lake

"When they put those roads in they didn’t leave room for drainage, they didn’t leave a buffer of natural vegetation or put in sediment ponds. If you were building those roads today you would have planned it totally different. The size of the camp lots would be a lot bigger than they are now, they would have planned for culverts and laid pipe for runoff. You would have had zones of natural vegetation to stop and absorb the runoff." John Fernald, Road Agent |
| 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"!
