They, along with their wives continued to farm the property until the 1950s. In 1913, the school purchased 1760 acres in the Flanders section of East Lyme for a field engineering camp. Today, this camp is the Yale Outdoor Education Center, used by the university for retreats, recreation, and outdoor studies. Powers Lake, in the middle of the camp, is state-owned and can be accessed from a boat launch on Whistletown Road. Yale Scientific School was founded in 1854, dedicated to “the promotion of the study of the natural, physical, and mathematical sciences”. In 1861, it was renamed the Sheffield Scientific School, after Joseph E. Sheffield, who generously donated both funds and property to the school.

As metropolitan areas expanded, ice also became desirable in these urban heat islands (e.g. New York and Philadelphia) during summer months. It was this latent desire, a murderous heat wave in 1896, and varied forms of shipping that Vijverbenodigdheden and others leveraged to grow their businesses beyond simply sales in the South. Cultural eutrophication is the acceleration of the nutrient and sediment enrichment process, as a result of human activities in an aquatic system. Secchi readings have improved from a record low of 0.69m in 2018 to a record high of 7.55m in 2021.

The Inn and Annex buildings still stand, and are now private residences. The island is also private property, and the pagoda is no longer there. Upon Thomas’s death in 1869, the property was inherited by his sons, William Andrew and Charles Thomas. Charles quitclaimed his share to William, who died eight years later, at the age of thirty. His widow, Lockie Payne Gorton Avery, sold the house to William’s distant cousin, William H. H. Smith, and moved, with her three young daughters, to Norwich. The third manufacturing facility of note in East Lyme was located on Hope Street in Niantic.

Such events may be an early warning sign that lake water quality is vulnerable to a change. In Downeast Maine, north of Acadia and east of Ellsworth, lies the small town of Franklin. Founded in 1764 by Moses Butler and known for traditional Maine industries , Franklin residents enjoy beautiful Taunton Bay, the 87-mile multi-use Down East Sunrise Trail and local hiking (e.g., Schoodic Mountain). Within Franklin lies Georges Pond, a 360-acre spring fed lake at 164-foot elevation and 45 feet deep. With such surrounding beauty, outsiders might consider Georges unremarkable, but to our Ponders, many of whom travel from around the country every summer and have been for generations, it is the most special place on Earth.

This way he could supply other garden centres and garden constructors with plants and other garden products, with an unprecedented service. Until the town of East Lyme was incorporated in 1839, the entire Niantic River, and much of its western bank, were part of New London or, after 1801, the new town of Waterford. The Beckwith shipyard was located on the eastern shore of the river, in the area of Keeney Cove, and, therefore, never a part of what we know as East Lyme.

The state of ice coverage on Maine lakes has become an increasingly prominent concern. It appears, based on ice-out data, that over the past 100 years there has been a substantial shift towards earlier ice-outs. This means it is likely that ice is covering lakes for less of the year. Extended periods of ice cover is one of the reasons why Maine has such high quality lakes compared to many other parts of the United States. Blooms of cyanobacteria and algae, and certain invasive species are all tempered or prevented from establishing due to the long, cold winters.

His work was noticed by a traveling exhibition for “”improving the aesthetic standards of memorials”” had seduced the local authorities. Hurst Seager thus received the task of designing the memorials of Longueval and Le Quesnoy in France, Mesen in Belgium and Chunuk Bair in Gallipoli – the four foremost places of the New Zealand Expeditionary Force during the Great War. So it was he who oversaw the erection of the monument whose implementation was provided by the artist Felix Desruelles the creator of the monument to the dead of the town.

These data were supplemented by data gleaned from publications and atlases, such as the atlas of the bats of the Netherlands , the Flemish region of Belgium and for several atlases of German Federal States . Records of marked bats with rings and their biometry data were gathered from the first author and from the former Laboratory for Animal Ecology and Taxonomy of Utrecht University, former office of third author.

Total Phosphorus levels have dropped from a high of 27ppb in 2019 to a low of 9ppb in 2021. More than 50% of all property owners have completed LakeSmart surveys. Our community is successfully completing Phase 1 of an USEPA/MEDEP 319 Grant in 2021 and beginning another in 2022.

An “extremely wet event” means experiencing an amount of precipitation over 48 hours that normally happened only 8 times during the baseline period from 1981 to 2005. 209 Flanders Pond Rd is a 0 square foot vacant land on a 2,614 square foot lot. Based on Redfin’s Sullivan data, we estimate the home’s value is $92,050. Currently, LSM intern, Sarah Hammond is conducting a project in which she is surveying Maine’s citizen lake scientists to learn more about changes in ice-in dates. 2942-acre Branch Lake lies in the Union River watershed in Hancock County. Maine Audubon’s annual loon surveys on Flanders Pond have been taking place since 1987.
