Membership Matters!

The Beech Hill Pond Lake Association mission is to help improve, protect, and preserve the lake's water quality and fragile ecosystem.  Your membership dues, donations, and personal volunteering allows the BHPLA to take a wide range of actions to protect the lake, including:

  • Active monitoring of lake water quality by Certified Water Quality Monitors;
  • Periodic lake surveys for invasive plant, fish and other aquatic creatures;
  • Ongoing identification of stormwater runoff trouble spots and initiating  projects to remediate them; and
  • Education of camp owners and guests on how to help protect Beech Hill Pond

The Beech Hill Pond Lake Association is an all-volunteer organization supported primarily through membership dues, general donations, business sponsors, and government grants where available. But the backbone of our funding is you, and your membership and annual dues (a modest $10) are critical to helping us fulfill our mission. With a large and vibrant member community, we can transform our common interest in protecting BHP into concrete actions that also help protect and enhance your BHP experience and improve property values.

By joining the BHPLA you make visible your commitment to help protect the lake for future generations. You become part of a local body of lake lovers willing to take personal and collective action to help preserve the pristine lake and community culture we all enjoy. Even if you will only be at the lake for a few months, weeks, or days, your membership matters!

In addition to membership fees, we urgently need additional funding to prepare a Watershed Management Plan and apply for a Maine DEP grant to fix runoff sites identified in our 2022 Watershed Survey.  Please add your donation to your annual fee payment with "Watershed Management Plan" in the note, or go here to find out more.
