"In the 1930’s my uncle Hans purchased all of the land from near Dolloff Dam all the way around to where Meindl Way is now. The original camp they built is off of what is now Meindl Way. It was a little 12x12 shack. They lived in that camp for a whole year. It was the Depression and no one had jobs. They actually survived in that shack for a whole year living off of the land. They picked berries and they would shoot a deer, even out of season, because they needed the food to live on." Gladys Whitney |

Peggy Tucker then took the plant sample to Therese Thompson on Sunday morning. They both were checking boats at the Fundy at 4 AM for a fishing tournament Sunday. Therese confirmed our concerns and recommended pulling the plants and removing their heads (the pinkish purple flower on top of it). At 5 PM Sunday, Gary St. Pierre, Peggy Tucker and Steve Soreff returned to the Horse Island site. First we cut and bagged all the heads off the now flowering plants, then we proceeded to pull all of them. It proved to be a localized but extensive number of Purple Loosestrife. PLIA note: We would like to thank the dedicated efforts of Peggy, Steve and Therese. They could use your help, if you would like to become involved please contact Steve Soreff at This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it or Donna Danis at This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it

The Association routinely conducts water quality sampling under the New Hampshire Volunteer Lake Assessment program of the State of New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services.
