<p class="MsoNormal">We are thrilled to announce that Lake Stewards of Maine (LSM) has teamed up with Maine Lakes to again, offer funding assistance for watershed survey activities in 2024. This initiative aims to identify and resolve land use problems affecting

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Watershed surveys, conducted by community volunteers, play a crucial role in addressing issues holistically and fostering unity within our community. These surveys help identify and resolve problems related to soil erosion, a significant
non-point source of phosphorus in many Maine lakes.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Process and Resources:<o:p></o:p></p>
