Now, Purpose No. 1 - Protecting the Pond.  With a lot of input from the community and outside experts, we developed an integrated lake management program, with several pieces to it.  While we'll spend most of our  time talking about weed control, because it's expensive and rather dramatic, it's important to keep in mind that that's only one aspect of our overall strategy for keeping the Pond healthy.  I'll briefly be talking about each of these components of the program.
