Our 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.
Our Initiatives
Water Quality
Learn about the imminent threats to Maine lakes. Development of lake watersheds is near the top of the list, and perhaps the most pervasive.
Watershed Survey
Learn how to identify, monitor, and mitigate polluted stormwater runoff and other ways in which watershed land use influences lake water quality.
Maine Lake Data
Learn more about your lake and other lakes in Maine. Find information on water quality, aquatic species, invasives, and amenities.
Beacon of knowledge & resources
At the beginning of the millennium when we were worried about invasives coming to Panther Pond, we were working in the dark; then we found LSM which has been our beacon of knowledge and resources ever since.
LSM Rocks!
Staff is friendly, accessible, and always willing to share their knowledge. LSM ROCKS!
Valuable technical content
The webinars and Zoom chats put on by Lake Stewards during the pandemic have provided valuable technical content along with social networking and opportunities for data sharing that makes us better stewards. Thank you.
Professional, efficient & helpful
Dale and I had our first experience with LSM through their online plant ID course during COVID-19. We have been impressed at how professional, efficient and helpful everybody has been in all our interactions with them. They are always willing to enthusiastically share their love of lakes with us. Though we have yet to meet the team members in person, we feel strongly connected to them, as friends who have a lot in common.
