Message from the President - January 2020
Another summer has come and gone and winter has arrived very abruptly! Every year seems to go by faster and faster.
The Long Lake Association continued its usual programs to support Aquatic Invasive Species Prevention for the 12th summer. We are looking forward to another great summer in 2020. The ADK Watershed Institute (AWI) of Paul Smith's College is already recruiting for the 2020 Lake Stewards. Here is a link.
With the support of the AWI, the NYS DEC, the Town of Long Lake's generous funding, and your generous donations, for the 2019 summer, we cosponsored the second year of a Boat Wash Station in Long Lake, located at the new municipal parking lot next to St. Henry's Church. This winter, we will be reviewing all the data from the harvesting efforts over the past few years in order to determine the next steps for remediation.
Please remember that these programs could not continue without the your generous support of Paul Smith's College, grants from NYS DEC and EPA, the Town of Long Lake, and the many active volunteers that routinely help out. Although we are assured of NYS DEC funding for Lake Stewards through 2023, we launched year 2 of the "Long Live Long Lake" fundraising campaign to help ensure 7 day coverage and support other prevention activities. Carma and Steve Flannery are co-chairing the campaign. Check out the separate page on this website for more information on the fundraiser and the latest updates.. Thank you to all that attended the kickoff and your generous donations! We have recently added a donaten button (below) so that you can make donations using PayPal, credit card, or debit card. You can also make a recurring donation using this button.
We have begun work on a Lake Management Plan that will help us with future funding and to prioritize sustainable programs to maintain the quality of Long Lake. We are working with an expert planner, Allison Gaddy. The initial community survey has been reviewed and we received excellent input from many Long Lakers. I will keep you up to date on the progress of the plan.
That's it for now. Enjoy the winter. We miss everyone that leaves here for the winter and look forward to seeing you after mud season or maybe after black fly season, whatever works for you!
