Post Having Boated on Winnipesaukee Since 1952...,

How did I miss this long-term fix?

How cyanobacteria green does the lake need to be before Lake Winnipesaukee water-fronters will tear out their green grass lawns and plant fast growing pine trees?

Is it time to return your GREEN GRASS LAWN to the WHISPERING PINES as it once was?

1) The last time I boated on Wolfeboro's Lake Wentworth (canoe, 1992), I was impressed by the clarity of Wentworth's waters.

2) When I later looked at a lakefront house for sale there, was impressed again by the depth to which pine needles had collected under their "Cathedral Pine" forests.

3) I can't remember when Lake Winnipesaukee's waters became green.
