HOW WE MAKE AN IMPACT: PROGRAM PILLARS
PHOSPHORUS REDUCTION
In collaboration with our partners, the GLA implements solutions to reduce the lake’s incoming phosphorus pollution—which impairs Green Lake’s water quality, fueling plant growth and degrading conditions for both our community and aquatic animals.
AIS
PREVENTION
To protect Big Green Lake’s water quality, the GLA minimizes the spread of new and existing aquatic invasive species (AIS) through preventative measures and community education.
DATA EVALUATION
The GLA gathers data and information that drives the Lake Management Planning Team to identify water quality problems, inform solutions, and track our collective progress.
COMMUNITY ACTIVATION
The GLA cultivates community engagement in the health of the lake by mobilizing our members, volunteers, and partners to act on Green Lake’s behalf.
“We didn’t inherit Green Lake from our ancestors.
We’re borrowing it from our grandchildren.”
