Participation in LakeSmart can take two forms:
Become a LakeSmart volunteer
-
You’ll learn how to protect your lake from pollution.
-
You’ll meet your lake neighbors.
-
We’ll train you. (It takes about three hours.)
Request a LakeSmart evaluation of your property
-
It costs nothing.
-
A LakeSmart visit is educational and completely non-regulatory (i.e. no Shoreland Zoning requirements).
-
You will receive recommendations for how you can improve your property to best protect the lake.
-
You will have no obligation to implement any recommendations.
