Preserving the Value and Benefits of Maine's Lakes and Ponds

Maine’s lakes are just as iconic as our rocky coastline. But lakes don’t just provide outstanding recreational experiences – they provide essential wildlife habitat and clean drinking water for thousands. Colin talks with Susan Gallo, the executive director of Maine Lakes, to learn more about lakes and ponds in Maine, what makes them so special, why we can’t ignore the risks facing them, and what we can do about it. **Show links: Maine Lakes website , LakeSmart program **Support NRCM by becoming a member today or signing up to receive email updates . ** Follow NRCM on Instagram , YouTube , Facebook , or TikTok
