Contact information may be available to logged in members.
Organization Overview
Mission: Lake Stewards of Maine (LSM) works to protect Maine lakes and to promote lake stewardship through widespread citizen participation in the gathering and dissemination of credible scientific information pertaining to lake health.
Every year, Lake Stewards of Maine trains and certifies hundreds of community scientists that volunteer for hundreds of hours each year. Many have been involved for 10, 20, even 30 years — and some have remained active for over 40 years.
These volunteers collect over 85% of the annual water quality data for the State and survey lakes for aquatic invasive species, alerting state agencies to changes in lake ecology, unusual observations, and emerging threats. LSM volunteers benefit their local lakes and broader by playing key stewardship and leadership roles.
