The Long Lake Area Association (Hubbard County) Foundation would like to take this time to thank everyone for their generous donations. The donations received help to preserve and protect Long Lake in many different ways.
We are happy that we are able to continue and support additional watercraft inspection hours at our south and north public water accesses for the summer of 2024.
This past fall
we utilized funds for Aquatic Invasive Species (AIS) mitigation efforts when
Starry Stonewort (SSW) was discovered. Abatement plans for SSW and any other AIS that may be discovered in our lake will be an on-going project and will require
a reserve of money to allow us a swift action plan as things arise.
This year our Fisheries Committee is working with the MN DNR on supplemental stocking of walleye on the lake. We have been approved to stock 240 lbs of walleye fingerlings in Fall of 2024. This amount is in addition to the current DNR stocking plan.
In the Fall of 2023, the LLAA Foundation in collaboration with Hubbard Township applied for and was awarded a grant for a CD3 unit which is in place at the south access. Our responsibility is to cover the annual costs associated with the upkeep and running of the unit.
Programs like these are also funded by donations to the LLAA Foundation. While we have reached our present fundraising goal for July 1, 2023 through June 30, 2024, the new projects and responsibilities taken on by the LLAA Foundation requires us to constantly evaluate our financial needs.
Making a donation to the Foundation at any time during the year is very much appreciated!
