East Lake

 

EAST LAKE WATERSHED BASIN

 

We wish to preserve Cherry Valley's last rural Farm buffer area and the shallow East Lake head area  from high density development on the south shore of East Lake from Curry Lane & Point to the Hamlet's 1836 boundary near Barratts Lane.  We believe that this lake head area should remain low density and low impact on the forest and shore line habitat  of East Lake. We believe that the shallow lake head area of Cherry Valley and it's ecosystem  should be preserved for our children and grandchildren to experience.
