Education and Events
2022 Water Quality and Flood Risk Workshop
In May 2022, BCWD held an online workshop for Bass Lake East and West landowners. This was a follow up meeting after a June 2021 presentation about a management plan for Bass Lake East and West. The purpose of the meeting was to present the findings of the Bass Lakes Management Plan and empower residents to help protect water quality, restore native shoreline, and make personal choices about how to respond to their level of flood risk. The agenda included an overview of shallow lake ecology, sharing results of water quality and flooding assessments, and offering free site visits and technical assistance.
