Swains Lake: Our Shared Oasis Under Threat

Imagine a summer day at Swains Lake. The sun warms your skin as you float in the crystal-clear water, surrounded by the laughter of children splashing and the gentle hum of nature. This serene scene is what we cherish about Swains Lake, a precious gem nestled in our community.

But this idyllic picture is in danger. Swains Lake is under siege by an insidious invader – milfoil. This aggressive aquatic plant forms thick mats, choking out native species, hindering recreation, and threatening the delicate ecosystem we hold dear.

The Stakes Are High

Milfoil is not just an inconvenience; it's a real threat to our lake's health and our enjoyment of it. Without intervention, milfoil will continue to spread, turning our clear waters into murky swamps and making swimming, boating, and fishing difficult or even impossible.

We Need Your Help to Protect Our Paradise

The Swains Lake Association is a group of dedicated volunteers fighting to save our lake. We are raising funds to launch a comprehensive milfoil management plan, which includes:

  • Early detection and rapid response: Identifying and removing new milfoil infestations before they take hold.
  • Manual removal: Employing divers and specialized equipment to remove existing milfoil.
  • Herbicide treatments: Applying environmentally safe herbicides to control milfoil growth in heavily infested areas.
  • Education and outreach: Informing the community about milfoil prevention and the importance of protecting our lake.

Your Donation Makes a Difference

Every dollar you contribute brings us closer to victory against milfoil. With your support, we can ensure that Swains Lake remains a vibrant, healthy ecosystem for generations to come. Your generosity will help preserve the cherished memories and experiences that Swains Lake provides for our families and friends.
