Catch our final July program update here: tinyurl.com/yc2kbzk5 ☀️

This week is all about making the most of the final days of #LakesAppreciation Month! We challenge you to participate in the social media contest, complete your family's BINGO card, and maybe even collect data for the Secchi Dip-In! tinyurl.com/bdf37yt4

🌊 July is #LakesAppreciation Month! 💙

From #swimming & #fishing to drinking #water & #wildlife habitat, #lakes sustain life.

📣Shoutout to the @nalms.bsky.social (#NALMS) for leading the way in #lakescience, #outreach, & #conservation across the USA, Canada & Mexico! 🌎🌿.

Time is a thief ... we're already halfway through #LakesAppreciation Month! ⏰

I just received my Proclamation for OR for #LakesAppreciation month! Guess I was so excited I accidentally tore it and mail delivery folded to fit my mailbox.

🌿💧 July is #SmartIrrigationMonth...and #LakesAppreciation Month! In #Florida, if you're irrigating your lawn with #lake #water, there's a good chance it's already full of nutrients from #stormwater runoff.

That means 👉 you probably don’t need to fertilize - not just in summer, but year-round.🧵..

#LakesAppreciation Month provides an opportunity to take the time to enjoy your local freshwaters and bring attention to them - to either celebrate their values, or launch an action to protect, enhance, or rejuvenate them. Thank you for celebrating with us! Get the latest: tinyurl.com/4xu4vx79 💧

🎼 It's the most wonderful time of the year! 🎼

Well ... at least for lake people. #LakesAppreciation Month has officially begun! We use this time to highlight the importance of lakes, reservoirs, and all freshwater resources, along with the issues they face.

🌊 Even the most remote alpine #lakes aren’t immune to #plasticpollution...

💙July is #LakesAppreciation Month, #PlasticFreeJuly, and #NationalParksandRecreationMonth. Let’s commit to protecting and celebrating every #lake - from urban #ponds to mountain peaks.
