How we Serve the Lake and Community
SCLA makes a difference by preventing and slowing negative impacts from invasive species.
Due to fluctuations in grant funding and project schedules, annual SCLA expenditures vary, but on average they are deployed as follows:
- Aquatic Invasive Species (AIS) prevention and control and lake and water quality surveys (75%)
- Education and educational events (10%)
- Member management, communications and services (15%)
