Protecting our Beautiful Lake & Community

  by Tim Langer – Lake Sediment/Nutrient Control Subcommittee Chairman

You may have noticed the new “Love the Lake” logo that marks the articles and programs being developed by residents volunteering for the Sediment and Nutrient Control Subcommittee of the Lake Management Committee. You can see it included in this article. Our mission is to connect our community by 1) raising awareness about important issues, 2) offering good science based information, and 3) offering some easy ways to improve our community.

It is our hope that this logo reminds residents to BE LAKE RESPONSIBLE!

When weeds and algae in the lake become overgrown, we all look for help to find solutions. Our lake is not a public and natural resource of the State of Ohio, so it is up to us, the owners and residents of Roaming Shores to be responsible. We are the primary stewards of our great natural resource, Lake Roaming Rock. Please help us work together to protect our water for our enjoyment and that of future generations.

Given our private ownership and access to Lake Roaming Rock, our goal is to initiate programs to help residents actively manage their properties and proactively seek new and innovative solutions. Once we, the residents and owners, do all that we can to sustain these programs, outside funding, like government grants, can be more readily obtained to help us limit sediment and nutrients from our watershed.

When you see “Love the Lake” articles and programs, please participate. It is our hope that if we all contribute to the health of Lake Roaming Rock, our community will thrive. Please contact me (TimattheShores@gmail.com) if you would like to get involved, contribute or suggest an article, help with a program or have any questions. It is important that we all be responsible to help keep our lake and community beautiful.

I love our lake and I bet you do too.
