2022 Boot Lake Cleanup We had a crew of 4 for our annual Boot Lake clean-up. The participants included Craig Vorpahl, Patty Bero, Bill Bero and Noah Bero-Evensen who at the age of 4 yrs old could be the youngest participant in the history of this event. We cleaned the NE shore of Boot Lake from the yellow slide to Earler's beach. We made quite a haul by filling 3/4s of a garbage bag. Nothing unusual was found. Thank you to all the participants. Bill Bero The Town of Riverview Brush Site is open and free to Doty residents with a recycle sticker.

The effects and causes of low levels of dissolved oxygen in lake water The Boot Lake Improvement Association has purchased a dissolved oxygen (DO) meter for the purpose of providing a key missing piece of information needed to provide our on-going monitoring of our lake. Along with sampling for chlorophyll, phosphorus, temperatures, and water clarity testing, coupled with boat launch duties and invasive species monitoring, these along with this new instrument will help give us a complete picture of the health of the lake, and most importantly a heads up if something’s were to change. I have put together a question and answer sheet on why doing dissolved oxygen is so important, I hope you find it useful and informative. Please feel free to pass this message onto any of your neighbors who are not members of the association so they know what's going on. Kurt read the question and answer document
