Sign Up for a LakeSmart Visit!

​Calling all shorefront owners:  Parker Pond needs your help!

As the threats to our pond become more challenging with invasive plants, warming  water and stormwater runoff, you may ask “What can I do to help?”

LakeSmart is an educational and reward program that helps lakefront owners manage their properties in ways that protect water quality and property values. Trained volunteers will evaluate your property and provide individualized suggestions for keeping stormwater runoff out of the lake. These improvements can go a long way towards diminishing algae growth and keeping the water clean and swimmable.
We can do an evaluation in about an hour, outside, with safety precautions. The evaluation is free and non-regulatory.

Improvements often can be done yourself, or if needed with the help of the Youth Conservation Corps of the 30 Mile River Watershed Association.

Please help our lake and take advantage of this tried and true program for the sake of our lake by signing up for a free visit today!
Contact LakeSmart coordinator, Deb Cayer at debbiecayer@gmail.com or 207-320-0379
