Purpose:
The purpose of this project is to significantly
reduce soil erosion and polluted runoff sources to
Pleasant Lake & Parker Pond, foster long-term stewardship, and,
ultimately, improve water quality. Sites to be
addressed are based on results from a watershed
survey conducted in 2007.
This
project offers free technical assistance to
landowners, towns, and private road
associations in order to address erosion problems.
Financial assistance is available to help
cover the cost of improvements.
