The Department of Ecology has awarded us a $30,000 grant to help defray the cost of a scientific study of our lake. This study, called the Integrated Aquatic Vegetation Management Plan (IAVMP), is the required first step for all new Lake Management Districts (LMDs). We, in partnership with the new Pattison Lake LMD, are creating a joint RFP to solicit bids for this project. Special thanks to lead grant writer, Diane Perlman, for helping us receive this funding.
