Ice Storm Clean Up – Let’s Pitch In Together

As you know, the storm has left a significant mark on the Point, with downed branches, debris, and other damage.

SPA is working with the City of Kawartha Lakes to coordinate clean-up efforts. In the meantime, we’re organizing a Volunteer Clean-Up Weekend on April 12 & 13 to help get the Point back in shape.

Whether you can lend a hand hauling brush, help run a chipper, or provide snacks and encouragement, your support will make a real difference. We’re also looking to identify anyone in the community who might need a hand – whether it’s with physical clean-up or just someone to check in.

Please take a moment to fill out the survey linked here. It will help us organize volunteers, match needs with support, and keep everyone informed as plans are finalized.

Thank you for your resilience, your neighbourliness, and your spirit!

AQUATIC PLANTS GUIDE

(second edition, 2023)

by Kawartha Lake Stewards Association

KLSA is a nonprofit volunteer organization formed over 20 years ago to monitor the water quality of the Kawartha Lakes. Volunteers conduct water quality tests across many Kawartha Lakes, including Sturgeon, and the results are published in KLSA’s annual Report. All the annual reports, and other specialty publications, are available on the KLSA website.

Most recently, KLSA has published the second edition of the Aquatic Plants Guide. This guide is a well-produced and very informative booklet, with photographs, illustrations and vital information about the many aquatic plants (don’t call them weeds) in our ecosystem.

Hard copies of the Guide are available on request, free of charge. Some copies have been placed in the SPA Publications Boxes by the Community Bulletin Boards.  It should also be available on the KLSA website in due course.

KLSA is supported entirely by donations and volunteering. All support is welcome.
