About Moose Pond Association

Moose Pond Association's (MPA) mission is to help maintain and improve the quality of life on Moose Pond allowing all to enjoy the lake for 
many generations to come.

The primary goal of MPA is the prevention of non-native invasive aquatic plants, especially invasive milfoil, in Moose Pond.  In 2010 MPA provided
funding for boat inspectors at the Route 302 boat ramp and the Denmark boat ramp, where  1155 boats were inspected during 774 paid hours and 128 volunteer hours of inspections.
In 2011 our goal is to continue to provide both funding and volunteers to perform boat inspections at the Route 302 and Denmark boat ramps.   This effort 
will start in May and continue through September.    Our planned schedule is weekends in May and June at both ramps, each day from July 1st through September 6th 
at the Route 302 ramp and Friday, Saturday and Sunday, July 1st through September 6th at the Denmark ramp.     MPA will again apply for a DEP grant to aid in the 
funding of the boat inspections.


Additional goals in 2011:


1) Continue the Moose Pond "Invasive Plant Survey"     
We believe that Moose Pond has no invasive aquatic plants, but we want to be 100% sure.  Our plan is to continue to survey the shoreline for any 
invasive plants in the latter part of August.   Volunteers will be needed to perform this extensive undertaking.  If you can help, please contact
Mark Patterson at mark@patco.com.  


2) "Invasive Plant Identification" Workshop
Did you ever wonder if an aquatic plant in Moose Pond is an invasive?  Have you ever heard of bladderwort, hydrilla, naiad, water-milfoil or waterwort?
We believe that the people who live on or use Moose Pond need to have a basic understanding of the aquatic plants in Moose Pond and what the invasive 
plants look like.     MPA is hosting an Invasive Plant Identification Workshop on July 9, 2011 where you will learn how to identify aquatic plants 
and will see live native and invasive plants.  MPA members will receive an email invitation to the workshop. If there are openings left , the public will be invited.  
If you are interested or would like additional information, send an email to mpa@moosepondassociation.org.     
 

 We welcome all input on what MPA can do to maintain and improve the quality of life around Moose Pond and the health of the lake itself.
