To help residents keep local lakes and ponds clean, Pike County Conservation District is hosting a free three-part workshop series titled “How your Backyard Activities Affect your Lake.”
The first workshop in the series is “Ways to Help Your Lake Stay Healthy,” is scheduled for March 28, from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m., at the Dingman Township Fire Hall, 680 Log Tavern Road in Milford. Complimentary coffee and donuts will be provided, and the event will include a raffle.
The free workshop will begin with an interactive activity, led by Watershed Specialist Rachel Posavetz, to illustrate how our individual actions contribute to the quality of our local waterways. Senior Resource Conservationist Ellen Enslin will then discuss the Conservation District’s services, which help to protect water quality.
Jeanne Calabrese and David Altemier of Conashaugh Lakes Community Association will also present some of the successful water quality practices implemented in their community.
Remaining workshops in the “How your Backyard Activities Affect your Lake” series include “Homeowner Tips to Protect Clean Water” on June 20; and “Properly Maintaining Your On-Lot Septic System” on September 19.
All workshops will be held from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. at the Dingman Township Fire Hall, 680 Log Tavern Road in Milford.
