July is Lakes Appreciation Month and a big thank you goes out to the North American Lake Management Society (NALMS) for sponsoring this event.
Lakes Appreciation Month is a time to think about where you would be without water. It is also a time to think about the threats facing your lakes and reservoirs. Growing population, development, and invasive plants and animals put stress on these waterbodies. All life relies water. And as you know, we can no longer afford to take for granted that these water resources will always be there and always be usable.
You can help NALMS make the most out of Lakes Appreciation Month
• You can sign a letter to US Governors asking that they proclaim July as lakes appreciation month in your State.
• You can pursue media coverage for your local Lakes Appreciation events.
• You can join the Secchi Dip-In and help track water quality trends in your local lake or reservoir.
• You can help promote Lakes Appreciation by sharing your experiences through our Show You Lakes Appreciation Challenge.
Lakes Appreciation Month is also a good time to set aside a week, a day or even just an hour to celebrate your favorite waterbody. Take a swim, cast your line or just take some amazing photos at a lake or pond. Whatever you choose, just get out and show your appreciation.
