Founded in 1984, the Salem Lakes Preservation Association oversees environmental conservation efforts and activities affecting the greater Salem Lakes area. The organization directs the monitor/greeter program at the boat access. The foremost objective, of necessity, is the prevention and/or containment of Eurasian Water Milfoil and other aquatic nuisances because of the ever increasing number of lake invasions in Vermont according to the Agency of Natural Resources. The Invasive Species Prevention Program is paid for in part with support from members of our community, Derby voters and the Vermont Department of Environmental Conservation.

Greeters play a vital role in protecting Vermont’s freshwater lakes by serving as the first line of defense against invasive species. They welcome visitors, provide friendly education about aquatic invasives, and conduct voluntary watercraft inspections to prevent the spread of harmful plants and organisms. Their efforts help preserve the natural beauty, biodiversity, and recreational value of our lakes for generations to come. Last year’s crew inspected 606 various water craft at the access.We also want to shout out to the Town of Derby for the administrative and financial pport allocated to our Greeter Program which is now in its 24th season at Salem.
