Local Organizations
Howard Lake Watershed Alliance
The goal of the Howard Lake Watershed Alliance is to help protect, maintain, and enhance the waters of, and surrounding watershed for Howard Lake. The organization provides educational resources, activities, and tasks to achieve this goal. Information is shared through meetings and newsletters as well as social media and newspaper articles.
We have monitored Howard Lake since 2000 for trends in clarity and nutrient loading. In 2003, a program to control nuisance aquatic vegetation was initiated. Grants were received in 2007 and 2011, to determine how invasive aquatic species and their treatment were affecting native aquatic vegetation. At present, Eurasian milfoil is being treated every other year. The alliance’ s goals are met through voluntary efforts.
The alliance welcomes energetic volunteers. The board of directors meets quarterly, with an annual meeting in May. A newsletter is published two times per year.
