The North American Lake Management Society sponsors Lakes Appreciation Month each July to bring attention to the value of our community lakes. Lakes are an integral part of Florida’s quality of life. Clean lakes are a key component to public and environment health and safety. Lakes are a wonderful recreational resource ranging from boating, swimming, canoeing to fishing.
