We surveyed every foot of Burt Lake’s shoreline and the results are in. Some of the evidence shows improved “Lake friendly” conditions. But other measurements show there are still plenty of opportunities for property owners to improve their stewardship of this valuable resource. So we’re having a special meeting where you can find out the details, understand your area’s specific condition, get answers to your questions and learn about simple actions you can take to help.
