Our Association Has A Lot Going On
Founded in 1984, the Salem Lakes Association is a volunteer-based, not-for-profit organization that oversees environmental conservation efforts and activities affecting the greater Salem Lake area.
This encompasses:
- Water Quality Monitoring
- Milfoil Prevention
- Coordination with State/Local Government Agencies
- Community Affairs
The Association sponsors and directs the monitor/greeter program at the boat access.The foremost objective, of necessity, is the prevention of Eurasian milfoil and other aquatic nuisances evolving because of the ever increasing number of lake invasions in Vermont according to the Agency of Natural Resources.
It is the goal of the Salem Lakes Association, through this program, to protect and promote our ecological system: good water quality, free of invasive species, to enable fishing, boating, swimming and other recreational activities for everyone. Protecting our water resources contributes to the social and economical benefit of the landowners and the total community.
The Invasive Species Prevention Program is paid for in part with the support from the Vermont Department of Environmental Conservation.
