Before ➡️ and after some much-needed blowdown clearing at our Hunter Cove Uplands conservation area. Thank you, trail crew! 👏👏 Explore this 172-acre property: https://rlht.org/hunter-cove-uplands/ (fb)
The ☀️ finally came out this week! Our water quality team took advantage of the nice weather, setting out on Saddleback Lake to collect samples. In the first two photos, we're looking through a view scope to get water transparency readings using a secchi disk. This tells us the clarity of the water, or how deep into the lake you can see. In the third photo, we're using a meter that tells us the amount of dissolved oxygen (DO) in the water as well as water temperature. We drop this down into the water in 1-meter increments to get a profile of the lake to the deepest depth. Pictured here: our water quality intern, Marissa Dewey, and headwaters coordinator, Sadie Gray. 💧 You can learn more about their findings and key health metrics of our regional lakes and ponds by visiting: https://rlht.org/home-rangeley-lakes/watershed-health/ (fb)
