On September 21st, folks gathered to tour projects on three properties along Shotwell Brook to learn about created wetlands that protect water quality in Skaneateles Lake. This was the first time these projects were accessible to the public. A big thank you to Kim Clark from Onondaga Soil and Water Conservation District and Gian Dodici from the US Fish and Wildlife Service for their help with landowner coordination, project design, and overall knowledge and expertise on wetlands. #water #waterquality #wetlands #recap taken in Skaneateles, New York by @cce_onondaga

5 tips to keep Skaneateles Lake clean:
1. Skip lawn fertilizer: most of the time you don’t need it anyways!
2. Pump your septic system regularly (every 3-5 years).
3. Plant along your lake and streamside shorelines with native perennial plants.
4. Clean, drain, and dry your boat before entering the lake.
5. Plant a native meadow – you’ll be helping the water quality and pollinators! #waterquality #skaneateleslake #garden #boat #lawncare taken in Skaneateles Lake by @cce_onondaga
