BACKGROUND:

A Lake Management Plan (LMP) is a living document that changes over time to meet the current needs, challenges and desires of the lake and its community.  Although each lake is different, the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (WDNR)  requires that each comprehensive lake management plan address a specific list of topics affecting the character of the lake, whether each topic has been identified as a priority or as simply something to consider.  In this way, every LMP considers the many aspects associated with lakes.

REASON FOR THE PLAN:

This plan is created to ensure that Anderson Lake is healthy now and for future generations.  It is designed to learn about Anderson Lake and identify features important to the Anderson Lake community, in order to provide a framework for the protection and improvement of the lake.

Implementing the content of this LMP will enable citizens and others to work together to achieve the vision for Anderson Lake now and in the years to come.  It is a dynamic document that identifies goals and action items for the purpose of maintaining, protecting and /or creating desired lake characteristics.

A Lake Management Plan is necessary when applying for any state or county grants.  A plan demonstrates that there is a long term strategy in place to maintain a healthy lake and includes input from all stakeholders involved who choose to participate.

VOLUNTEER!

We are a volunteer led organization and the amount of work that gets done is greatly dependent on the number of helping hands who can contribute some of their time and effort towards protecting and developing our lake.  More participation also helps to insure that ALL community members are served and informed.  Please Click Here to see current volunteer needs!  Also based on input from our last annual meeting, we put some thought into who can volunteer, particularly thinking about younger family members.  CLICK HERE to see our new Volunteer Policy.
