Protect Ann Lake Waters
A home on the water represents a high quality of life to the owner, something one has worked many years to attain. But for the natural world, a waterfront home negatively impacts the ecosystem around it, usually to a greater extent than people realize. Here are the some things you can do to protect Ann Lake.
- Limit use of chemical pesticides and fertilizers. Do not use phosphorus.
- Maintain your septic system.
- Use native plants.
- Clean up lawn clippings and leaves.
- Establish greenbelts and rain gardens.
- Clean boats and trailers.
- Pick up pet waste. Don’t feed the wildlife near the lake.
- Don’t litter!
- Dispose of or recycle chemicals and hazardous waste properly.
- Get involved!
