Bolton Lakes & Watershed Management Plan - Open for Public Comment

The goal of the Bolton Lakes & Watershed Management Plan is to provide uniform, thoughtful management of the entire watershed and lakes system now, and to offer recommendations for the future. Hillary Kenyon, a professional limnologist and Certified Lake Manager from Northeast Aquatic Research (NEAR) drafted the main body of this plan. In 2020, the towns of Bolton, Vernon, Coventry and Tolland along with representatives of the Friends of Bolton Lakes and the Bolton Lakes Watershed Conservation Alliance comprised a steering committee who collaborated with Ms. Kenyon to complete the plan.

The Directors of FBL remarked, “This body of work is the culmination of many years of research, data gathering and unyielding cooperation from numerous state and local town officials”.

The public will have a two-week period (January 11^th to January 25^th) to return feedback to the steering committee.
