The Douglas SWCD
Board of Supervisors selected the Douglas County Lakes Association as the
Outstanding Conservationists of the Year.
The Douglas County Lakes Association (DCLA) was formed in 1992 with a mission to
support member associations by coordinating and leading county wide
environmental and limnoligical efforts; to provide governmental and regulatory
liaison; and to promote education, public awareness, and advocacy of lake and
lakeshore issues. Currently there are 27 lake associations that belong to
DCLA.
The DCLA has been
active in public education through seminars, public information open houses,
radio programs, and youth activities. With the discovery of zebra mussels
in the summer of 2009, the DCLA has taken the local lead in educating the public
on preventing the spread of zebra mussels. The DCLA is well deserving of
the Outstanding Conservationist of the Year award for all their dedicated work
on protecting the water resources of Douglas County.
