Page 10 Summer 2014 Free LEA Lake News The Maine Lake Science Center – Now a Reality by Peter Lowell LEA Board Votes to Buy the Science Center Property As kids growing up on Highland Lake, we never saw algae clouds that look like green cotton candy. The sand and gravel of the lake bottom was always clean and the rocks were clear of sediment. Unfortunately, these simple indicators of water quality decline are now widespread. Our work over 43 years has led us to conclude that Maine lakes are degrading because of continued watershed development and decline is being accelerated by climate change. All of our lakes have changed over the past few decades, and their future is certainly in doubt. For six years, LEA has studied the status of lake science and visiting lake centers around the country to learn their methods and establish relationships. LEA conducts more lake testing than anyone in Maine, and we feel that no one adequately understands the “tipping points” that lead to a decline in water quality.

Page 10 Winter 2016 Free LEA Lake News Success on the Songo River and Brandy Pond! By Christian Oren After eleven summers of hard work, LEA is declaring victory in the battle against milfoil in the Songo River and Brandy Pond. When the project was first begun, huge patches of milfoil as big as football fields choked the entire length of the Songo. Now, boaters can pass through the river without ever seeing a single stalck of the plant. Never before has such a large and extensive invasive aquatic plant infestation been brought under control in the history of the State of Maine. The dozen or so infestations in Brandy Pond were also persistent, but seem to have been quelled by years of repeated harvesting. We declared victory on the Songo for two main reasons. First, the density of milfoil on the entire length of the river was much lower than we had seen in previous years. Even at the height of the growing season, there was only one plant for every 100 feet of shoreline, or less.

  • Wabanaki Place Names of Western Maine
    Wabanaki Place Names of Western Maine Place names are clues for understanding the values and the activities that connect people to a place.
