ALA is a diverse group of property owners and conservation-minded individuals who, for more than one hundred years, have aspired to protect and enhance the land and waters of Alamoosook Lake in Orland, Maine. Some of us live year-round on the lake and some are summer residents, but deep friendships have grown over generations.
ALA was founded on the twin pillars of conservation and community, and those remain our primary functions. In the conservation area, we have worked with Hancock County Soil and Water Conservation District to reduce non source point pollution, worked with the Town of Orland for fire prevention, and with adjacent lake associations for the control of invasive plants. Our dam committee communicates with current dam owners to keep the membership informed. The Audubon Society's Annual Loon Count is a highlight of the summer.
The membership holds two meetings a year, usually at the beautiful Alamoosook Lakeside Inn: potluck dinners with social time and an educational speaker. We staff an information booth at Orland River Day, and have entered (and won) the float competition at that event. We typically celebrate the 4th of July together, as well as smaller events like "sip and paddle".
Dues are $20/year,but extra donations are appreciated. It's tax deductible.

Opportunities to meet friends, learn about your lake and community.
Training is necessary, but you don't have to become an invasive plant expert. People skills are more important. Last year's volunteers enjoyed meeting a variety of boaters of all ages and boat types. Consider joining us for 2021!
