Our Projects
Water Quality Measurement
Lake residents have been doing water quality testing during the summers for years. We intend to significantly expand our testing practices. We will purchase monitoring systems to continuously track depth, rainfall, temperature and water cloudiness over time in order to have actionable data to inform our future efforts.
Cost: $9,000
Goose Management
Nature abhors a vacuum, and lakes like ours are a draw for Canadian Geese! We have 125+ resident geese on the lake, with more born every year. The Conservancy has proposed a long-term management plan, to be approved by the Timberlake Homeowners Association.
Cost: $8,000
Aquatic Habitat Restoration
The Lake is home to so many plants, fish, birds and reptiles! We want to encourage maximum diversity of native species, We want to have healthy populations of fish. We want the lake to nurture food sources for all of the wildlife in and around it.
Additionally, we desire to strike an appropriate balance with the human residents of the lake as well.
We are currently working on a project to assess fish populations, restock if necessary, and provide habitat for healthy native species, to the benefit of both fish and fishermen.
Cost: $24,500
Dam Erosion Control
Our dam is 30 years old. It is amazing what constant wind and even the small wakes made by pontoon boats can do to chip away at the earthen portion of the dam. We need to line the water edge of the dam with stone to keep this erosion from continuing.
