Watershed Survey

Upper and Middle Range Ponds

Saturday, May 11

The Range Ponds Association, with technical assistance from the Maine Department of Environmental Protection and Androscoggin Valley Soil and Water Conservation District, will conduct a watershed survey of Upper and Middle Range Ponds on May 11, 2024.  The survey is necessary to protect the water quality of the Range Ponds from existing and future threats, such as the algae bloom that occurred on Middle Range Pond in September 2022.  A watershed survey has not been conducted on the Range Ponds for 20 years.  

A public meeting to provide more detailed information about the survey and to answer questions will take place on Saturday, April 6, 2024 from 11:30 A.M. to 1:00 P.M. at the Poland Town Hall, 1231 Maine Street, Poland, Maine.  We urge anyone who lives on or near the Range Ponds or uses them for recreation to attend this meeting and to support the survey.  

The Range Ponds Association is a non-profit organization created to monitor and protect the water quality of the Range Ponds.
