Protecting Candlewood Lake Starts in Your Backyard

Over the past sixteen years, property owners throughout the Candle-wood Lake Watershed have been the beneficiaries of a locally sponsored and executed environmental protection program designed to raise awareness and support of smart fertilizing practices. During this period, over 1,250 residents took part in these events promoting 'Soil Testing Day.' Participating lawn and garden keepers received free, scientific guidance on how to enhance the fertility of their soils and nourish their plantings while minimizing harmful effects on the Watershed and our treasured Candlewood Lake.
