Wildlife Conservation
Our Objectives
PLPA monitors the state of wildlife on Pleasant Lake and it’s watershed, and works closely with The Loon Preservation Committee on protecting Common Loons, a threatened species.
Our Projects & Activities
PLPA publishes an email newsletter, ‘The Nature of Pleasant Lake’ , aimed at educating members about the conservation, protection and science of the nature in and around Pleasant Lake and our watershed.
The committee is responsible for maintaining the loon nesting platforms, buoys and signs that protect nesting loons.
Elkins Fish & Game provides and maintains duck boxes in various locations throughout the Pleasant Lake Watershed.
Additional Resources
