Romp, Romp, Romp, The Algae is in the Swamp

very year at this time we appeal to all residents to make sure they do not rake their leaves into the lake. It turns out that this is not enough as our algae bloom last spring taught us.

If you think you are out-smarting the lake by not putting your leaves and yard wastes in the lake, but instead are dumping them in the swamps and wet areas around the lake; YOU ARE THE PROBLEM and THE SOLUTION.

Any organic matter being dumped in wet areas around the lake to decompose ends up in Clear Lake. No matter who you are, you cannot outsmart Mother Nature. If you try, we all will swim in algae and have more weed growth each year.

We at Clear Lake Township Land Conservancy Inc. are working with the town to develop a program to handle the huge amount of yard wastes that is generated each year. Until we get a complete plan to handle the problem, we beg of you to be responsible for your own yard wastes NOT going in the lake, either directly or indirectly. Thank you from the bottom of our lake!
