Programs That Protect

Our core programs are designed to protect the water quality of the lake.

Aquatic Invasive Species

Milfoil Control

Since 2007, SLA has conducted the most robust, continuous effort of milfoil control in the Finger Lakes.

Harmful Algal Blooms

Cyanobacteria can produce toxins posing health risks to people and animals.

Hemlock Protection

Hemlock trees are vital to reducing runoff and nutrient-loading.
