Protecting our Paradise
Our long term water quality data identifies declining water quality in several areas around the lake. Implementation of our Watershed Management Plan has helped to slow some of these trends, but the fact remains that Newfound’s water quality is threatened.
NLRA’s watershed-wide planning emphasizes stormwater management projects and the protection of forests that act as a natural water filter for Newfound’s water. These efforts strengthen Newfound’s resilience to major threats.
Preventing Stormwater Pollution
NLRA offers free stormwater assessments within the Newfound watershed and installs landscaping improvements, like rain gardens and driveway infiltration trenches, to prevent stormwater runoff from polluting our waterways. These projects have measurable outcomes for the health of Newfound Lake. Learn more.
Promoting Thoughtful Land Conservation
With community input and our local, regional, and state partners, NLRA conserves undeveloped spaces that are of key importance to keeping Newfound’s water clean. Learn more.
Protecting Newfound’s water quality requires action on all levels.
In order to stop this trend of decline, we need your support. Help us boost the size and scale of our stormwater management efforts and other programs that protect Newfound Lake.
