Skaneateles Watershed Improvement Projects

The Skaneateles Watershed Improvement Projects (SWIP) are an effort through the Skaneateles Lake Association to work with Skaneateles Lake watershed landowners to implement projects that would help maintain lake water quality by reducing nutrients entering into the lake.  This initiative is supported through community partnerships and the Legacy Fund.
