Buying a woodlot, or having it passed down to you generation to generation. And you give it to your
That is good stewardship. And with waterfront property, being extra vigiliant not to use weed and feed, pressure treat lumber and to keep a vegetation buffer along the shore line. Water rushing from higher ground in the watershed can bring soil nutrients, phosphorous, silt that chokes fish, causing vegetation to grow in in the water along the beach line. Muck where there was clean gravel bottom before for swimming. Development around water and woodlots over cut hurt lakes. And lakes hate lawns...pristine lakes do not have long rolling lawns...there is natural woods, bushes, flowers, of all ages. Ground cover that can hold soil in place. Drews Lake is a Maine lake with a strong lake owners association.
kids in better shape than you got it. That is respect for land.
Fish need oxygen, a good feed source and soil conservation, cold temperatures, even shade, woodlot management, beefed up 
shoreland zoning protections...that's what protects a resource. Milfoil is an evasive plant that is four hours away from where I live and something you do not want in any lake. There are many varieties but the long and short of it is, this plant chokes a lake, kills a lake. How does it get introduced? Props of a boat brought from an infected lake..that easy. One chute, and bingo, explosion of vegetation. Or a float plane could drag it in. Over fishing a lake, debris from ice fisherman left on the ice after the shack is removed, and carelessness with gasing boats, jet skis also adds to the health decline of the lake. Protecting lakes is more than just sound environmentally, it ensues real estate values and use as a tremendous Maine recreational/tourism asset .
