"CURBING CONFLICT"
Spring will be here soon. Everyone will be eager to get back to the lake and enjoy this great lake of ours.
More and more of us are enjoying the water in a wide variety of ways.
Some seek peace and quiet and a little bit of nature.
Some let it all hang out and test their prowess and athletic skills.
How do we share our small world with the creatures that "need" to live here and the people that "prefer" to live here?
Can there be less stress and more pleasure?
How will what I want to do affect others?
CAN I BE...
CONSIDERATE-RESPECTFUL-POLITE-UNDERSTANDING?
THINK ABOUT...
NOISE...Silence is golden.
SPEED...Watch your wake.
LITTER...Leave nothing but your ripples.
SPACE...Give critters and your lake neighbors some room,
THINK MORE~REACT LESS !
