The Lake Alice Stewardship Program is an ongoing endeavor composed of periodic phases that progress toward the overall vision of the Lake Alice Association – a healthy, sustainable Lake Alice. In Phase 1, participants learned about the lake and the landscape. In Phase 2, a principal task involved conducting an aquatic plant survey and creating an aquatic plant management plan. Phase 2 tasks also included frog and toad surveys and a volunteer angler journal. Success of future phases depends on a coalition of participants, each carrying out appropriate tasks and communicating needs and findings to other team members. It is appropriate that the Lake Alice Association (LAA) is the lead organization in this long-range endeavor.
