Getting Started

Learning how to manage your property in an environmentally friendly way is an important way to do your part in protecting and preserving the water quality of Great & Long Ponds. It’s also a great way to enhance both the beauty and value of your property!

Here’s How You Can Get Started With LakeSmart Today

Schedule an individual evaluation of your property by contacting Maine Lakes  or by emailing: stuart.cole@7lakesalliance.org.

The Next Step

The LakeSmart Evaluation is the next step in the process of receiving a LakeSmart Certificate of Recognition or LakeSmart Award. An evaluator will conduct a site visit and score your property in five categories: road, driveway and parking areas; structures and septic system; lawn, recreation areas and footpaths; shorefront and beach areas; and undeveloped land.

For more information simply click “LakeSmart Property Evaluation”.

And Finally

LakeSmart Recognition is given to property owners who receive appropriate scores in any of the five categories of property maintenance.

The LakeSmart Award plaque and sign is presented to owners who reach a high level of environmentally sound design, maintenance, and landscaping of their properties.

The Results

Imagine the impact we could have if every watershed property owner committed to making their property environmentally friendly. We invite you to join us and learn more about how you can become LakeSmart!
