We conserve the lands and waters of the Belgrade Lakes region for all
7 Lakes supports land and water conservation in the Belgrade Lakes region by engaging with the community to achieve clean water, well stewarded lands, and a vibrant economy.
Ways to Give
Our lakes are at stake
Our challenge is both an immediate challenge to our watershed and a need to balance conservation, protection and the needs of all who live and work in the region. To meet this challenge, in late December 2017, the Belgrade Regional Conservation Alliance and the Maine Lakes Resource Center combined forces to create 7 Lakes Alliance. Together with our scientific research partner Colby College, 7 Lakes Alliance is committed to a mission of conserving the lands and waters of the Belgrade Lakes region for all.
Our StoryHow do we protect our water and land?
We lead the charge year-round against the threat of green lakes, as well as invasive aquatic plants in our waters. In addition to our extensive water quality initiatives, land conservation is a critical component of our work to help ensure the health of our waters.
