It is an electric motor only lake. This helps to perserve the shoreline. Why is it important to preserve our trees? The lake’s trees serve many roles. • They provide oxygen for all of the lake’s teeming life-forms, including humans. • They are nature’s natural air conditioners, blocking out the sun to shade and cool the homes of humans and wildlife. • They prevent soil erosion, which is crucial to reducing the threat of potentially dangerous algal blooms. A 2001 study by Dr. Ellie Prepas, states “following an average of 15% tree removal, phosphorous concentrations increased by an average of 40% in lakes with a two-fold increase in cyanobacterial biomass and a ten fold increase in cyanotoxin concentration.” This is a very dramatic increase. What Causes Algal Blooms? Too much phosphorous in l
