Take The LAKE STEWARD PLEDGE
THE LAKE STEWARD PLEDGE
The MKLPA is suggesting aLake Steward Pledge to recognize those lake property owners who are committed to the long-term health of Minocqua and Kawageusaga Lakes for future generations. We haveidentified 10 steps that we are asking Lake Stewards to complete on their property to earn the designation of “Lake Steward”.
THE 10 LAKE STEWARD STEPS:
- Capture water runoff before it reaches the lake
- Don’t blow or rake leaves into the lake
- Minimize or eliminate chemical and fertilizer use
- Allow native aquatic plants and fallen wood to remain in the lake
- Reduce road salt use
- Eliminate bare soil spots on your property
- Maintain your septic system
- Boating with care
- Don’t mow to the waters’ edge
- Respect the wildlife on the lake
These 10 items are all critical to helping maintain the quality of Minocqua and Kawaguesaga Lake. The effort to complete these tasks is varied by property, but our hope is that you will take the pledge to commit to the 10 items and begin the journey.
Take the Pledge and we’ll email you a link, or send you a printed copy of Shoreline Living Magazine, to show you what is possible. You’ll be recognized in our fall newsletter as a Lake Steward. Thank you for joining us on this journey.
