Lakes & Environmental Stewardship

Helping to maintain the quality of Caspian Lake is one of the most important roles of the GA. Towards this end, the we have monitored water quality for many years on a weekly basis during the summer months. A Lake Protection Committee was established in the 1970s to study run-off from streams feeding the lake and the resultant build-up of the deltas, as well as to examine ways to prevent the infestation of Eurasian milfoil and zebra mussels.

The Greensboro Association is an active participant in the Federation of Vermont Lakes and Ponds whose purpose is to exchange information and solve mutual problems among its members in close cooperation with state environmental agencies. Another accomplishment of the Association was to limit the use of jet skis and waterski courses on the lake, which has substantially contributed to lake protection and noise reduction.
