CLEAR LAKE TOWNSHIP LAND CONSERVANCY (CLTLC) ACTIVELY PRESERVES OVER 100 ACRES OF WETLANDS, WOODLANDS, PRAIRIES, PUBLIC SPACES, STREAM BEDS, AN ISLAND AND A FEN. THE CONSERVANCY ALSO HOLDS ONE CONSERVATION EASEMENT. TWO PROPERTIES WERE ADDED DURING THE YEAR, A .6 ACRE WETLAND AND A .1 ACRE PARCEL THAT PROVIDED ACCESS TO A PREVIOUSLY LANDLOCKED ELIZABETH HANNA NATURE PRESERVE. VARIOUS PROJECTS COMPLETED DURING THE YEAR INCLUDED: PLANTING 15 TREES DURING THE YEAR WHICH WILL PROVIDE A VALUABLE FILTER FOR THE LARGEST FLOW OF WATER INTO CLEAR LAKE, AN 800-ACRE LAKE. COMPLETED THE TRAIL LOOP INSTALLATION IN BRENNAN WOODS.
ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT ASPECTS OF THE CONSERVANCY'S CONTINUED GROWTH IS ITS ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION PROGRAMS. SOME OF THESE EFFORTS ARE DEMONSTRATED IN EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS, INCLUDING CLTLC'S KNEE-HIGH NATURALISTS PROGRAM. THE CLEAR THINKING NEWSLETTER BEGAN PUBLICATION IN 2015 AND CONTINUES YEARLY TO INFORM AND CONNECT THE CLEAR LAKE COMMUNITY TO THE CONSERVANCY'S MISSION AND PROJECTS YEAR ROUND.

EACH YEAR THE CLEAR LAKE TOWNSHIP LAND CONSERVANCY CONDUCTS WATER QUALITY MONITORING TO GUIDE OUR WATER QUALITY ENHANCEMENT EFFORTS AND APPROACHES. THE DITCHES FLOWING INTO CLEAR LAKE, ROUND LAKE, AND LAKE ANNE ARE TESTED WITH THE HELP FROM SEVERAL VOLUNTEERS. TESTING SUPPLIES ARE PROVIDED BY THE HOOSIER RIVERWATCH PROGRAM AND THE CLEAN LAKES PROGRAM. DURING THE YEAR, THE CONSERVANCY CONDUCTED THE THIRD WATERSHED DIAGNOSTIC STUDY, WITHIN ITS 30-YEAR HISTORY. THE STUDIES ESTABLISH AN EXTENSIVE DATABASE TO IDENTIFY KEY PROJECTS IMPACTING THE HEALTH AND SAFETY OF THE SURROUNDING LAKES AND DITCHES. TESTING WATER QUALITY, REMOVING INVASIVE PLANTS, PLANTING NATIVES, TRAIL BUILDING, SIGNAGE, AND LAND MAINTENANCE WERE COMPLETED BY 105 VOLUNTEERS ACCUMULATING A TOTAL OF 1,354 HOURS.
