2021-2022 Impact Report By Josephine Roberts

It is exciting that our culture of conservation will look to a diverse community of people around the lake and in the watershed; our land protection and water quality initiatives will continue to maintain and improve water quality and preserve prioritized lands within the watershed; our preserves and conservation lands will be managed to the highest standards; strategic work with stakeholders will focus on government policy and enforcement; and community fundraising initiatives will promote an understanding of and willingness to invest in our future. Progress of our efforts towards measurable outcomes of the Strategic Plan will be routinely communicated over the next five years.

Most everyone has a story about their connection to and love for Walloon Lake. My grandchildren are sixth generation on Walloon Lake, and I want to leave the lake and watershed a better place, a place where people and nature thrive together. Damien (now 9 months), and his cousins Eli (now 5 years old) and Evan (now 1 year old) no doubt have lots of contemporaries around the lake who want to live, work or play here. Together with the diversity of our ever growing community, the leadership of our Board, the actions of our staff and your tireless commitment to our mission we will leave Walloon Lake and its watershed a better place for future generations. Please consider an active role in the Walloon Lake Association and Conservancy!

Thank You, Mary Pat

2021-2022 IMPACT REPORT

A Note From Our Executive Director, Josephine Roberts

Iam pleased to present the Walloon Lake Association and Conservancy impact report for 2021-2022.

As an organization, we are responsible for a complex and diverse portfolio of work that covers permanent land protection and land stewardship, water quality monitoring and restoration, government affairs, boater safety, community education and next generation engagement – all critical activities we do year after year to ensure the vitality of Walloon Lake for the generations to come.

While our vision for the future is clear, an annual impact report is a retrospective on the success, innovation and positive impacts achieved over the short span of the past year. Most of the conservation efforts featured in this issue are not confined to a 12-month period, with many projects demonstrating the latest outcomes from decades of hard work and persistence.

To the many who contributed your time, treasure and talents to the WLAC this year, simply, thank you.
