LAKESMART PROGRAM

LakeSmart is a statewide education and reward program that helps lakefront homeowners manage landscapes in ways that protect water quality. The program is free, non-regulatory, and voluntary. Participating homeowners receive individualized suggestions for keeping pollutants out of lake waters.

Landscape Management and Planning can include:

  • Plant selection for buffers
  • Rain gardens
  • Erosion control mulch
  • Bare soil plantings
  • Native vegetation
  • Lawn improvement
  • Trail and path stabilization

You can schedule a free visit to your residence with Friends of Messalonskee (FOM)’s LakeSmart program.
