LakeSmart is a program that teaches property owners how to manage their property(s) to reduce or eliminate storm water runoff and related erosion into their lakes and/or ponds. Responsible land management reduces the potential for catastrophic lake algae blooms. LEA serves as the regional sponsor and administrative hub for the statewide LakeSmart program.
Properties that are inspected and deemed as being particularly lake-friendly receive a LakeSmart Award, with two accompanying signs for display at the owner’s shoreline and at the end of the driveway.
MPA is proud to recognize both the dedicated volunteers who make the LakeSmart program possible, and the owners who have participated in the program this season.
Moose Pond’s LakeSmart team is comprised of three evaluators who walk lakeshore properties and make suggestions for minimizing or eliminating storm water runoff into their lake. Moose Pond’s team is Bill Dexter, Peter LaPolice, and Elizabeth Stockwood.
