Lake Champlain

We have had an amazing time learning about Lake Champlain! Through our watershed exploration and our trip to ECHO and the Burlington Waterfront we have learned the different ways that we impact the lake and that the lake impacts our community.

Things that pollute or harm the lake:
  • Oil from leaky cars
  • Factories that dump into the lake
  • Construction
  • Farms - fertilizer and animal waste
  • Run off from roads
  • Pet waste

Things we can do to help the lake:
  • Take care of our cars so they don't leak
  • Clean up after our pets
  • Be responsible with toxic waste
  • Build fences to keep cows out of streams
  • Don't cut down trees on the banks of rivers
