Spotlight: Watershed Management Plan
The MLPOA Board is excited to announce that we have been awarded a grant from the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services (NHDES) to develop a watershed-based management plan for Lake Monomonac. The NHDES Watershed Management Program focuses on identifying sources of, and ways to eliminate, phosphorus and other pollutants throughout the watershed with the goal of protecting and maintaining water quality. The study will begin when the most qualified consultant is selected through the RFQ process currently underway.

Best Practices
Garden Wisely
TIP: Use native plants in your garden and avoid fertilizers that contain phosphorus.
Why: Native plants require less water and fewer chemicals, while phosphorus-free fertilizers help reduce nutrient pollution in lakes.
