Do you care about Sebago Lake? Maine's 2nd largest lake is not all that it appears to be. Abrupt changes in lake management have brought unfortunate and unprecedented changes to Sebago Lake and its littoral areas. In spite of the “official” transcript which usually reads “everything is fine,” there are good reasons for concern about the future of Sebago, as a clean water source, recreational magnet, and – most importantly – the centerpiece of an enormous ecological system, of which the lake is the heart.

Join Roger Wheeler, retired educator and President of Friends of Sebago Lake, for this unique course on what you didn't know about Sebago Lake and what the “powers that be” (e.g., FERC, DEP, etc.) hope you won't care about.

Weaving elements of history, ecology, hydrology and public policy from his extensive background and archival memory of Sebago, Roger Wheeler will take us on a trip in which you will see Sebago with very different eyes.

This is a 3-hour course, and we will travel the circumference of the lake to 6 different points where Roger will explain the reasons for what you will see, and open your eyes to what goes unseen to the casual observer. If you can afford the time, you will not regret your investment in this critical piece of environmental education, which could be on the syllabus of every college and university in Maine. It's a FIELD TRIP, with a very important purpose:

To educate, inform and enlighten the public, policy makers, local and state organizations who have an interest or stake in protecting Sebago Lake and the ecology of southern Maine.

Yes there are many unanswered questions, some of which appear to be avoided, and these we will explore as well. There is much research still to be done, and this is a time when the right influence on public policy affecting the lake will pay dividends for decades to come.

The course is limited attendance. Please call or write to register:
