If you have an old photo you’d like featured, please contact Amanda at jael Lake Host Program Active [email protected]. We’ll scan your photo if necessary and return it to you. I at Clough Pond hanks to a grant from The New Hampshire Lakes Association and The Loudon TConservation Commission, Clough Pond is once again being protected from milfoil and other exotic weeds. Mathieu Nichols has returned as paid Lake Host. Members of The Clough Pond Association are serving as Volunteer Lake Hosts. Lake Hosts are trained by The New Hampshire Lakes Association and The New Hampshire Department of Envi- ronmental Services. Lake Hosts distribute milfoil brochures and other literature, complete boater surveys, and conduct voluntary boat and trailer inspections. They remove and properly dispose of any plant material found and ask boaters to inspect their boat or other water craft before entering or when leaving a body of water. This helps protect our lakes and ponds from the spread of milfoil and other exotic weeds.
