This is a handout from our webinar, "White Lake - Ours to Preserve". White Lake is a spring-fed lake located in four municipalities and two counties. The White Lake Preservation Project (WLPP) aims to study and document the lake's chemistry, biology, and physical characteristics. WLPP and the White Lake Property Owners Association (WLPOA) work together to preserve and improve lake water quality. Residents can contribute to the lake's protection by participating in various programs and initiatives.
In this free webinar, Conrad Grégoire (Ph.D.) from the White Lake Preservation Project and White Lake Property Owners Association, will use White Lake, Ontario as a case study to show the impact zebra mussels can have on a lake community, particularly with respect to phosphorous levels, water clarity, and algae blooms. He will share reports on community-level efforts to build public trust, with the aim of motivating individuals to get involved and help preserve their lake. Conrad will explain different education outreach and stewardship techniques for your lake community. This webinar is geared towards all lakes, and especially off-shield lakes.
