Removal of native aquatic plants.

There have been a few recent posts on Facebook regarding weed removal from the lake, whether by people or our aquatic friends. The BLA wanted to share some important guidelines from the Ministry of Natural Resources about this process.

As a property owner, you have the right to pull weeds from the lake, but it’s important to be aware of the rules (please see the attached PDF for details).

The BLA strongly encourages everyone to follow these guidelines and ensure that any native aquatic plants you remove are properly disposed of on shore, rather than leaving them in the lake where they can be carried by the current or wind. This issue seems particularly significant in the southern portion of the South Branch this year, so please help keep the lake clean for all of us.

Thank you for your continued care of our lake and consideration for your neighbours.

 

THANK YOU!

The Buck Lake Guide!

We are excited to share a resource that we created for visitors, renters, and property owners – the Buck Lake Guide. Members of the BLA and residents on the lake can get a physical copy but we also want to make it available for everyone – so it is available here on a website by clicking on the image of it below.
We have begun distributing the Guide to members so please contact us and we will get one to you via our directors. Regrettably we need to inform you that physical copies of the guide will have some links that do not work already, as South Frontenac Township has updated their website and changed some of their links. The version on our website has been updated to include any of the changes.
