We are committed to protecting Flying Pond
30 Mile River Watershed Association
Flying Pond Improvement Association has been a founding organization of the 30 Mile River Watershed Association (30MRWA) since it was started in 2008. Its purpose is to help conserve, improve, and protect the rivers, streams, and ponds within the watershed.
The Association’s work focuses on preventing the introduction of invasive species, improving water quality, and promoting responsible and environmentally friendly enjoyment of the water bodies. The 30 Mile River Watershed is a 200-square mile rural region northwest of Augusta encompassing more than 20 lakes and ponds, most forming a chain. The chain runs from Kimball Pond south to Androscoggin Lake.
The 30MRWA formed to help the region’s small towns and lake associations protect these natural areas by providing a unified response to the shared threats. It is a public-private collaboration of eight lake associations, seven towns, and two local conservation organizations that pool resources to enhance their individual efforts.
Programs include Courtesy Boat Inspections, Camp Road Maintenance Workshops, Watershed Surveys and an annual Paddle Trek through the watershed.
