<p><span style="font-size:11.5pt;font-family:Roboto;color:#004874">Our annual lakes conference theme
<b>Lakes at the Edge</b> can be interpreted in different ways. Many of our lakes are on the edge of rapidly deteriorating health. They are at the tipping point where just a little more phosphorus in the water will push them toward recurring algal blooms. Many
are at the edge of the carrying capacity for development in their watersheds, where runoff from poorly managed roads, roofs and driveways may push their health to, or over, the edge. And of course much of lake conservation work takes place at the literal lake
edge. What can we do in the shoreland zone and surrounding uplands of our lakes to keep them healthy?

room, which will be reserved for meals and networking opportunities. We think the new arrangements will make for a better conference experience for everyone!</span><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#403F42"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
