Remember, dog poop that isn't picked up pollutes our lakes and streams. Dog poop can harbor pathogens and ecoli and can increase algae growth. Help keep our lakes and creeks clean, and scoop that poop!

You might want a green lawn, but we definitely don't want green lakes. Make sure if you are using fertilizer this summer to use slow release fertilizer and limit the amount you use. Fertilizer that gets swept away with the rain continues to fertilize aquatic plants and algae.
