Comments Off on Winter Is Coming

Winter Is Coming

Everyone had such a great response to the Fall photo series, we’re back again for Winter!

Send your winter lake photos to lake@truesdalelake.com and I will post them at the lake website.

Photos can feature snow, ice, bare trees, fog, winter animals, winter activities like sledding or skating, fire pits, ice fishing — or pretty much anything that happens in winter around and on Truesdale Lake. If you have winter photos from past years send them in but please note the year if you know it.

If you have a title for your photo, let me know. All photos will be credited to the photographer.

Thanks! … Rob Continue reading

Lake Manager Talk December 10th at 7:30pm

Forwarding a note From David Sachs via Next-door Truesdale website:

“Good afternoon on this overcast and damp and chilly December afternoon. Just a quick reminder – Michael Martin from Princeton Hydro will be speaking tomorrow evening – about lake management in general and Truesdale Lake in specific.

We will begin at 7:30 promptly and will end, I would assume, about 9 or 9:30. Michael has managed lakes for 30 years, and has a lot of interesting ideas to share. Some are similar to things you have heard before, and others are new and different. Come and join us if you can.”

The survey can be downloaded here in fillable PDF form. You can email it back to him at jenncf54@suny.oneonta.edu once you have completed the survey. Or you can print it out and fill in your answers and send it back (by December 12) to:

Field Guide to Invasive Plants

If you have ever wondered plants in Truesdale Lake are invasive, this free PDF booklet will tell you. We have a couple in the book but not many. One of the reasons we have boat stickers is to keep tabs on boats and avoid transporting invasive species into the lake that are not present already.
