At the bottom of this page, you will find links to the Calais Lakes and Streams Newsletters.

Membership has always been open to anyone who is interested in participating. No length of term has been established. Our goal has been to have a representative for each of the major ponds. Currently we need representatives for Bliss and Nelson Ponds. Please contact any of the members if you are interested.

Mission Statement: We strive to educate ourselves and our community on best practices to improve and preserve the quality of all the waters in Calais for today and the future.

You can also find more information about maintaining your property to support the health of our lakes and streams on the Friends of the Winooski’s Landowner Resources web page.
