I am pleased to share with you the preliminary lakes survery from Scott. I wanted you to know that we completed the
invasive aquatic species surveys for the four Norway lakes back
in August and September. No invaders were found, other
than the previously noted, Chinese Mystery Snails, which we
observed in all but Sand Pond. We also documented the native plant
communities in each of the waterbodies, and will enter that
information in the aquatic plant database for Maine lakes at the
Volunteer Lake Monitoring Program. I will comment on, and provide photos of the survey in the water quality report when it is prepared in 2012. |
LAON is a non-profit scientific and educational organization dating back to 1971. We are dedicated to collecting data and informing the public about issues affecting the lakes of Norway. We're about clean waters.
Members are concerned citizens, like you, who value the quality of life
on and around the lakes of Norway and want to encourage responsible
recreational activities as well as the balance of aquatic life so that
we can all enjoy our leisure time and the wonder of our natural
resources.
Members are your neighbors who enjoy swimming, boating, fishing and
water sports during the summer on the lakes as well as using them for
snowmobiling, ice fishing, skating and cross country skiing all winter.
Members are caring local
businesses who value a balanced environment and
economic growth.
Invest in the future. Consider membership in LAON to support Norway's
four beautiful bodies of water: Sand Pond, Hobbs Pond (Little Penn),
North Pond and Lake Pennesseewassee (Norway Lake).
Our purpose is to keep you informed about what is happening with our lakes and in our area. More information about environmental issues and permitting may be found on the Maine DEP and Maine Forest Service links.
