A community-supported association
Membership gives CLWA strength and stability
Chebacco Lake faces ongoing challenges that require consistent attention rather than one-time action. Water quality, invasive species, nutrient pollution, stormwater runoff, shoreline development, education, and municipal coordination all require sustained work.
Annual memberships provide dependable operating support for communications, outreach, monitoring, research, community events, advocacy, and long-term planning.
Membership also gives CLWA a stronger community voice. A broad and active membership demonstrates that residents, visitors, lake users, and watershed supporters care about the future of Chebacco Lake.
“Your membership is equal to all others regardless of the selected fee.”
