Lake Protection – It’s Everyone’s Job

Do you love a lake?  Do you want to know how to keep it clean?

Come hear inspiring speakers, play the Watershed Game, meet your fellow lake lovers and share exciting ideas for clean lake projects.

AWWA is hosting the Clean Lakes Campaign Kickoff on Saturday, June 11 from 9:00 AM to noon at the Wakefield Opera House to celebrate the precious lakes in the AWWA region -  Balch Lake, Belleau Lake, Great East Lake, Horn Pond, Lake Ivanhoe, Lovell Lake, Pine River Pond, Province Lake and Wilson Lake - and strategize how to keep them that way. Everyone who cares about clean water is encouraged to attend. Experts from both Maine and New Hampshire will be on hand to talk about issues that are threatening the health of our lakes and drinking water and offer solutions we can manage right here. You’ll have the opportunity to play the Watershed Game to learn ways we can each make a difference.  Each lake association in the AWWA region will go away with a tool kit to help them plan projects to protect their lake for now and generations to come.

Panelists include Jody Connor, NH Department of Environmental Services; LaMarr Clannon, Maine NEMO; Bob Craycraft, UNH Lakes Lay Monitoring Program; Andy Tolman, Maine CDC; and Keith Fletcher, Moose Mountains Regional Greenways.  Local businesses and community organizations will be on hand with displays and useful take home information so don’t miss this opportunity to learn about our water resources, what efforts are being done to protect them and ways you can make a difference.

Door prizes and refreshments are included in this free event.  Call (603) 473-2500 or email info@AWwatersheds.org to register.
