Lake Fairlee Association receives grant to continue Lake Fairlee preservation and fight against invasive species!
A $21, 600 grant was awarded to the Lake Fairlee Association along with the White River Natural Resource Conservation District (WRNRCD) from the Vermont Department of Environmental Conservation to continue the support of protecting Lake Fairlee from invasive plant species.
This is the third year the WRNRCD has been able to assist the Lake Fairlee Association in its ongoing battle against the invasive milfoil plant. The funds will be used to continue the very successful boat launch greeter program as well as herbicide lake treatment.
The Lake Fairlee Association is an organized group of volunteers committed to protecting and preserving the natural beauty of Lake Fairlee for current users and future generations. Membership is open to all! LFA members include lake residents, nearby neighbors, and regular visitors. The affairs of the Association are managed by a Board of Trustees, which meets monthly through most of the year. The WRNRCD is a locally led and operated organization that promotes soil and water conservation by working with people in the area and through area projects, education programs, and partnerships with federal, state, and local groups involved in natural resource management.
