The LBA was formed in 1956 by a group of neighbors. We continue today as friends and neighbors who love Lake Bomoseen and want to see it thrive in the future.
LBA Committees
Anyone can join our group committees 🍁 they do not require purchase of an LBA membership.
Lake Watershed Action Plan (LWAP)
A Lake Watershed Action Plan (LWAP) is an assessment and planning tool that identifies the greatest threats to the lake ecosystem. LWAPs are designed to identify and communicate the problems and solutions within a lake watershed to best protect water quality, wildlife habitat, and the lake's ecosystem health.
In 2023, the LBA was awarded a $35,000.00 LWAP grant via the Poultney Mettowee Natural Resources District (PMNRC)for Lake Bomoseen. We will work with Fitzgerald Environmental Associates on this project during 2024/25. https://fitzgeraldenvironnmental.com
There are many opportunities for community involvement and volunteer work during this LWAP development plan. Please email us for more information about being part of this wonderful project. lakebomoseenassociation@gmail.com (att: Rob Mealey)
Social
The social committee plans the BOMO BASH (August 4th, 2024), a lakeside dinner held at the Bomoseen Tap Room featuring: live music, silent and live auctions and is our annual LBA fundraiser. We have also hosted, COMMUNITY PICNICS, NINE & DINE, PAINT AND SIP, AND SPAGHETTI DINNER NIGHT events.
Greeters
The purpose of the Greeter Program is to prevent the spread of aquatic invasive species (AIS) through the use of a trained network of public access individuals (greeters) who educate boat owners on the harmful ecological and environmental effects of AIS and the harm it does to the enjoyment of those who use the lake.
