DON’T MISS THIS TALK!

Dr. Kirkwood and her students have been working around and on Lake Scugog since 2016 and she cares deeply for this very interesting, very large lake which is under stress because of climate change, invasive species and increasing development.  The question is … just what are the best solutions for keeping it healthy in the future. All is not bleak.  But we all must be aware of its vulnerability in these times.

 

FIVE GOOD REASONS FOR BECOMING A SCUGOG LAKE STEWARDS’ MEMBER

  1. The health of Lake Scugog is integral to the health of the Scugog Township economy and to your pocket book whether you own shoreline property or live in a neighbourhood in the greater watershed. Without action to help the lake, that advantage could slip away.
  1. Our Lake is under new and pressing stress from invasive species, urban growth, climate change and more, and needs a strong voice in a complicated political and social field.
  1. The Scugog Lake Stewards have in-depth scientific knowledge of the lake and excellent partnerships to help add to that knowledge.
  1. For projects within our control, the Scugog Lake Stewards have an excellent history of project completion and communication.
  1. Most importantly, while there are multiple governmental agencies with jurisdiction over our lake and watershed, there is no other group that speaks specifically for Lake Scugog and for your interests.

Our mission is to preserve, protect and enhance Lake Scugog.  Like other lakes, our Lake Scugog faces the challenges of invasive species, sedimentation, water quality and lake level issues.  It is our job to work with partners to ensure the lake remains healthy and attractive for future generations.

    Research

    If we are to know what to do for the lake, we first must understand it.  We are fortunate to have excellent support and partners to do this. Enjoy the information on this site and our Youtube Videos.

  • Lake Scugog Enhancement Project

    Enhancement Project

    Over the years, work will be carried out to help our lake. The first improvement must start where the need is greatest for the whole lake, Port Perry Bay, through the Lake Scugog Enhancement Project.

    Other Work

    The Stewards continually work on a wide range of projects: community education about the lake, invasive species prevention, improved fishing, Lake Week, lake level management and the Lindsay Dam, advocacy on various committees and much more.
