This annual event provides a forum for information exchanges amongst lake managers (volunteer or professional) and encourages a proactive and protective approach to lake health and use.

The conference will feature the best New England has to offer:

The conference begins Friday afternoon with a diverse selection of workshops and field trips. The annual New England Chapter of the North American Lake Management Society meeting will immediately follow the afternoon workshops. On Friday evening we’ll recognize 30 years of the Vermont Lay Monitoring Program and other New England volunteer monitoring programs, and invite you to join us for a celebratory reception.

Saturday features presentations about a large variety of lake projects and issues from around New England. You’ll be able to share information and ideas with others tackling similar issues and leave with new ideas and renewed energy!
