**The Courtesy Boat Inspection Program needs volunteers to man the public boat ramps, especially during fishing tournaments. All boats entering Kezar should be free of any plant material in an effort to prevent invasive weeds from gaining a stronghold in the lake. Contact Katrina Soucy at 647-3042.
The Lovell Invasive Plant Prevention Committee (LIPPC) works toward the goal of preventing the further introduction or spread of non-native invasive aquatic plants in the Kezar Lake Watershed. The
committee organizes and maintains a program of boat inspections, informational signs and brochures at boat landings as well as a program of public education and awareness.
The highly invasive plant, variable leafed watermilfoil was found in Cushman Pond, one of the ten water bodies in the Kezar Lake Watershed, in 1995. An intensive program carried on since that time
has resulted in not only the control of milfoil in Cushman Pond, but no further introduction or spread of any invasive plants in the watershed. (The 2002, 2004 and 2006 watershed surveys, commissioned
by LIPPC found no new infestations of invasive plants within the Kezar Lake Watershed.)
In accordance with our mission statement, this program is constantly being updated and enhanced to take advantage of the latest information from state and private organizations whose objectives
parallel ours, which is to control the further introduction or spread of invasive aquatic plants of all types, in our lakes, streams and ponds.
Meetings
