The Lake Management Project (LMP) was introduced at the annual meeting held on September 5, 2015. The project was started in early 2016 and has a completion date in early 2018. Studies that entail frog and toad surveys have been done, historical water data has been gathered and reviewed, point intercept data has been done and there are several parts of the project that are and will be ongoing until the conclusion of the project. Other parts of the project will be concluded as the data and studies are available. There will be opportunities for residents to volunteer in the future for parts of the data collection.
