Who We Are
Our sole MISSION is to protect and preserve the ecology of Black Lake, its tributaries and watershed through advocacy and program development; we don't aim to replicate or compete with the recreational or economic development interests of other organizations. Let's Keep Black Lake Natural! BLPS Strategy Overview:Click the box below to view a summary of the BLPS Strategy and outlook.
Our 2025 Focus is Water QualityMany of the issues of interest to Black Lake stakeholders have their root in sources of nutrients: Harmful Algae Blooms (HABs), weed expansion, zebra mussel population changes, changes to the sandy lake bottom, and water clarity. Excess nutrients can accelerate the aging of a lake in all of these ways, but it was our experience with HABs that lead us to take determined action; 1) urging the Tip of the Mitt Watershed Council to apply for a Watershed Management Plan on our behalf, and 2 hiring a professional environmental consultant - Kieser & Associates (K&A).
