We had a good Lake Hattie Association Annual Meeting. We had a speaker, Sarah Foderud, from AW Research Laboratories give a talk about the importance of water testing.

Just in case the brochure doesn't show through very well. Overall our lake is in very good shape.

Top things you can do to protect the lake's water quality:

1. Grow a natural plant buffer along the shoreline. Native plants do the best job of reducing erosion and preventing runoff from reaching the lake.

2. Keep your lawn slightly taller. Mowing to 2.5 - 3.5 inches instead of 2 inches or less will keep your lawn healthier and help reduce the need for fertilizer and slow runoff.

3. Stop or reduce fertilizer use. Leave grass clippings on the lawn as natural fertilizer. If you must fertilize, do it in late summer/fall and test your soil first.

4. Make sure your septic system is functioning properly and regularly maintained. Systems should be pumped out at least every 3 years and sized properly for the number of bedrooms in the home.

5. Stay vigilant about AIS. Aquatic Invasive Species (AIS) are a major threat to our lake ecosystems. Learn how to identify them and support efforts to monitor for them.

Good News. We have one baby Loon on the lake. This is from the nest that was near the Grass island. There is a loon on a nest in the Northeast Bay, hopefully we will have another baby loon soon.

As a Reminder, please stay away from the loon nests and the loons with baby loons. We want to make sure they all have a good chance of survival. If they are disturbed, that can stress them out, as a result some may not survive.
