MLRA Annual Membership Renewal
2024 was a year of learning for the Mousam Lake Region Association. The discovery of the invasive bladderwort in 2023 and the efforts that followed to survey, locate, identify, and remove was extremely challenging. The MLRA Board, Dive Team and numerous members continued to put forth a significant amount of time, money, and effort to assess and continue the remediation process. In 2024 we were able, through the efforts of members of the Board, to access grant money from the State of Maine to provide funding for a significant amount of the costs incurred to hire a Diver Assisted Suction Harvester (DASH) vendor to assist us with surveying and removal in the spring and fall when the bladderwort was blooming. While the outlook for total removal of this invasive is unknown at this time, we have already put into place removal plans for this upcoming season, coordinated increased DASH hours with outside services and are beginning the process of obtaining additional state grant funding in 2025 to offset a portion of these costs. This rapid response would not have been possible without your continued generosity and membership!
For almost 70 years, members of the Mousam Lake Region Association have come together in an organized manner to address concerns regarding water quality and use of the lake, and to create a stronger lake community, and it showed in our efforts last year! We remain particularly focused on monitoring and enhancing water quality and educating people about responsible use of the lake as a public recreational area for today and for future generations. With the support of our members, we continue the mission to preserve and protect the natural character of Mousam Lake, Goose Pond, and its surroundings.
With the acquisition of our new membership database in 2024, you are now able to manage your contact information directly. The email address is the address provided to the MLRA. Your first time through this process you will need to request a password in order to access the renewal form and to check and update your contact information. You will then be able to set your own password at that time. Online payments can be made using Stripe at checkout. All major credit cards are accepted!!
Paying online significantly reduces our manual data entry inputs for our membership process. If you prefer to pay by check, you can still use this method and click the pay by check option. This will generate an invoice for you to download and send in along with your check.
NOTE: We are considering a new approach to the camp/house stickers. More information regarding this to come in late spring 2025!!
Thank you for continuing to support the MLRA and our efforts around the Mousam watershed!!
