Come Here Often?

Keeping the lake community informed is one of the five goals we set for ourselves five years ago when we created the Alliance — goals we have been able to meet because of your financial help.

Read about what we have accomplished together by clicking the “contribute” link below. Then make an investment in the future of the lake through our “5 for 5” fundraising campaign for 2008.

5 for 5

Five Years, Five Major Goals Met

  1. Lake News and Information. Through our website, newsletters and email news reports we have you covered for state and local news that affects your lake investment. Whether it’s water quality, new legislation or a flood, you’ll hear about it first from us.
  2. Milfoil Awareness and Prevention. Keeping milfoil out of the lake is the goal of our Exotic Species Program, a partnership with the owners of more than 30 public and private boat ramps. Since the program began three years ago, there hasn’t been a new infestation on the lake.
  3. Lake Representatives. Who decides what the Alliance’s priorities should be this year – or next year or for the years to come? Our Lake Reps, the individuals who represent the lake’s businesses and property owner associations at our semi-annual meeting. From Berry Bay to Danforth Pond to Deer Cove, every part of the lake now has a voice.
  4. Natural Resources. Thanks to our efforts, state officials are finally working with the lake community to protect our unique natural and wildlife resources. Most especially that includes balancing preservation and low impact recreation at historic Ossipee Lake Natural Area, an effort that has gained support from around the state.
  5. Milfoil Control. No one knew what milfoil was when it entered the lake more than a decade ago, but everyone now knows how expensive it is to control. We helped establish the first town funds to pay for invasive weed control, and each year we work with state officials to ensure that when milfoil control money is available, Ossipee Lake is on the list.

We are the only volunteer organization dedicated to the preservation and protection of Ossipee Lake and its bays, rivers and surrounding land. To continue our work we need the financial support of people like you. Please make a tax deductible donation by printing and filling out our Donation Form.

Donations start at just $10 and every dollar counts because every dollar goes directly toward our mission. Mailing instructions are included on the form. Thank you for your support of Ossipee Lake and Ossipee Lake Alliance.
