Lakes Conference: Lakes at the Edge

The annual lakes conference theme Lakes at the Edge can be interpreted many ways. Many of our lakes are on the edge of rapidly deteriorating health. They are at the tipping point where just a little more phosphorus in the water will tip them toward recurring algal blooms. Many are at the edge of the carrying capacity for development in their watersheds, where runoff from poorly managed roads, roofs and driveways may push their health to, or over, the edge. And of course, much of lake conservation work takes place at the literal lake edge. What can we do in the shoreland zone and surrounding uplands of our lakes that keeps them healthy?

No matter how you interpret “lakes at the edge”, you are sure to find something at the 2025 lakes conference to pique your interest. The conference committee is still working to finalize plans but here are some of the topics and speakers we have so far.

Speakers: Jeremy Deeds, Chad Hammer, Rebecca Jacobs, Cary  James, Jen Jespersen, John Maclaine, Sharon Mann, and Brittany Schappach

Hosted By Maine Lakes & Lake Stewards of Maine
