Grindstone Lake: Driven to Preserve a Natural Treasure
1:30 PM - 2:30 PM Fri
Donna serves as the President of the Grindstone Lake Association and is an active board member of the Grindstone Lake Foundation. She helps to administer their DNR surface water grants and recently participated in a meeting to identify challenges and prioritize management strategies for Grindstone Lake. Donna is very interested in helping to reduce phosphorus loading, prevent aquatic invasive species introductions, and especially in working to engage and educate more citizens around Grindstone Lake. A Comprehensive Lake Management Plan with extensive data gathering is the big project for 2021-2022. As a board member of the lake foundation she has helped to coordinate the purchase of a 57 acre former cranberry farm along the shores of Grindstone Lake. This property will serve as a site for wetland restoration, shoreline restoration demonstrations, and low impact silent sports, and nature education and reflection.
