The Pequawket Lake Preservation Association is currently looking for volunteer evaluators to start a new LakeSmart Program! A program of Maine Lakes, LakeSmart is an education and outreach program that rewards lakefront homeowners who manage their land to protect water quality. The program is free, non-regulatory, and voluntary. Participating homeowners receive individualized suggestions for keeping pollutants from stormwater out of lake waters.

• Maine Lakes trains PLPA volunteers as LakeSmart Evaluators

• LakeSmart Evaluators visit with neighbors and friends to assess their lakeside properties, checking for erosion around structures, in the yard, and along the lake. The visits usually take less than an hour.

• The visit is free, non-regulatory and completely voluntary. LakeSmart is the most cost-effective strategy that homeowners can use to protect their lake, their property’s value and their recreational activities. Many home/property Improvements can be “Do it yourself” or with your local Youth Conservation Corp assistance.
