Gov. Corbett Proclaims July Lakes Awareness Month In PA
|
|
July has been proclaimed Lakes Awareness Month in Pennsylvania by Gov. Tom Corbett. Pennsylvania's landscape is home to more than 1,500 lakes, ponds, and reservoirs.
These lakes and ponds are critical resources to Pennsylvania's environment and quality of life, providing sources of recreation, scenic beauty and habitat for wildlife. Lakes are valuable economic resources for Pennsylvania businesses, tourism and municipal governments, with uses ranging from flood control and other agricultural purposes to water supply.
Maintaining the health of our lakes is the responsibility of every citizen. Pennsylvania recognizes the need to protect these lakes and ponds for future generations.
PALMS annually organizes pond and lake management workshops, trains lake monitors through technical assistance programs, and continues to bring educational resources and assistance to lake properties and their owners across the state.
For more information on Lake Management in Pennsylvania check out the Pennsylvania Lake Management Society or contact Kerilynn Frey by calling 570-864-3847.
