2 2018 Annual Report
Dear friends,
A Maine summer on the lake – waking up to peaceful, calm waters;
teaching your grandchild how to fish; taking a refreshing afternoon
swim; and hearing the call of loons as you fall asleep. Is there
anything sweeter?
All of these beloved activities are at great risk in our watershed. Just
last summer, two new invasive plant infestations were discovered in
a nearby lake, while another had a $1.5 million in-lake alum
treatment to prevent the algal blooms that had been plaguing the
lake for decades, buying only 15-20 years of clear water.
To prevent these destructive and costly problems from happening to
our waters, we must continue our vigilance. Thanks to ALL of you –
the individuals, businesses, organizations, towns, foundations and
government donors – for generously supporting our work. We truly
appreciate each of you for taking part in protecting all that we love
about this place.
Gratefully,
30 Mile River Watershed Association
