What we do:

• Citizen Lake Monitoring Program. Association member volunteers gather data to track lake health. Five sites are sampled four times a year for contents of phosphorus and chlorophyll along with lake clarity measurements. Oxygen level readings are also taken yearly. See “Lake Sample Results” for more information
• Aquatic Invasive Species (AIS) Program. The association in cooperation with the county AIS coordinator, supports efforts aimed at keeping invasive species out of Caribou lake. A harvesting program is in place for the invasive Rusty crayfish. Nettings are done to test for spiney water flea.
• Dispensing of information .  The association invites outside speakers to our membership meetings in an effort to keep the membership informed of local happenings and updated on best practices to protect lake water quality.
• Cooperative Connections. The Association liaisons with government agencies such as the Cook County Soil and Water Conservation District, the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency and the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources.
