Projects and Reports

The District is involved in a variety of small and large projects at any given time. You can see our 2004 annual report here.

Currently we are preparing the District Stewardship forest and Pond for educational and hiking opportunities

We are working with the Roseland Lake Park Trust and the DEP to control a wall of Phragmites that is standing between the park and the lake. We are also exploring natural controls on the algae population so that residents may enjoy the improved recreational and aesthetic qualities of this lake.

We completed June Nitrate Testing for some farmers in Windham county and found that the farmers who apply manure on their fields do not need additional fertilizers owing to the excess nutrients coming from manure applications.

The District is experimenting with locally grown Barley Straw as an alternative for algae control on ponds. The above picture shows barley straw netted with plastic buoys for flotation. For more information click here.
