This is so true for lake Scugog as well.

Did you know? Stormwater runoff from land use changes is the single largest source of pollution into the Catawba-Wateree River Basin. This nonpoint source pollution is expected to worsen as development continues in the Charlotte region and beyond.

Why is it a problem? When it rains, the rain carries litter, oil, fertilizers, bacteria, and sediment (dirt) into our storm drains and creeks. These pollutants impact the health of our waterways, which in turn can harm plant and animal life and reduce biodiversity. Stormwater runoff can also increase erosion, destabilize banks, and lead to more flooding and property damage.

WHAT A GRAND AND SUCCESSFUL LAKE DISCOVERY DAY WE HAD YESTERDAY. We set up right on the waterfront, near the Marina, the perfect place on a perfect day. We featured opportunities for you to see and ask questions about the health of the lake in general, understand the important infrastructure of life in the lake (the bugs in the mud), talk about invasive species in our lake or beyond, take part in a scavenger hunt, take a wetland walk with an expert, or even have your little ones create a beautiful garden rock. Great work team and partners!

MAKE SURE TO VISIT US TODAY. The Scugog Lake Stewards have just set up next to the Marina in Port Perry, celebrating "Lake Discovery Day." We look forward to talking to you, and answering your questions about, what you would see in the lake today, lake levels, invasive species, shoreline naturalization, blue green algae blooms and so much more. Bring your kids for the rock painting and treasure hunt. There will be a wetland walk by ecological expert, James Kamstra at 1 pm. If you love your lake, make sure you drop in to have a chat! We will be there until 3 this afternoon!
