Engaging Community in a Lake Plan: A Process Based on Mississippi Lake Planning Project

The Mississippi Lake Planning Committee developed a process to engage the community in the development of a lake stewardship plan. The process involved a 25-member Planning Committee, a Technical Advisory Committee, and a Communications Strategy. The committee used a variety of means to communicate with the public, including a website, social media, hard copies, newspapers, and radio. They also conducted surveys, public forums, and presentations to engage the community. The process was successful in engaging the community and resulted in a comprehensive lake stewardship plan.
