Leaser Lake Fish Habitat Restoration Project
 | |  | |  |
During the next year we have the unique opportunity to create new fish habitat
structures at Leaser Lake which will result in excellent fish populations for
years to come. Not only does the fishing at Leaser Lake provide outdoor
recreation for sportsmen from throughout eastern Pennsylvania, but it also
creates an economic benefit to the local communities through this low-impact
eco-tourism.
In 2008, the Leaser Lake Heritage Foundation, a 501(c3) non-profit organization,
became a cooperating partner within the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat
Commission’s “Adopt A Lake” program. We have been working with the PFBC
Habitat Management Section to create a Fish Habitat Improvement Plan for
Leaser Lake. The PFBC’s current plans call for several “large scale” habitat
improvements within the lake bed which will be carried out while the lake is
empty. In addition, we are planning numerous other “small scale” projects
which can be completed by local groups (ie. Scouts, Sportsmen’s Clubs and
School Groups).
PFBC has committed to providing all of the labor and equipment needed for the
“large scale” improvements and we are raising the funds for materials needed for
the projects. We are anticipating a cost of $75,000 for these materials. As an
incentive to Corporate Donors, after the repairs are complete we plan to
construct a new display at the Lake which will detail the dam repairs and fish
habitat improvements. This display will include photos of the process and a list
of the private and corporate donors.

Habitat Restoration Project. Your tax deductable donation towards this exciting
project would be greatly appreciated. Donations can be mailed to:
