Attention all Nawakwans:

Hummingbird Feeders are not allowed on the front porch. Our wildlife experts directed us to remove the feeders due to birds getting trapped inside the main lodge.

Feeders are allowed on the trees nearby. Please help, and note feeders will be removed if found on the porch.

Subject: Notification: 1st Sebago Hydrilla Treatment 6/8/23

Dear Harriman Group Camps,

The first herbicide treatment in Lake Sebago is scheduled for Thursday June 8th to target hydrilla.

• A 24-hour swimming restriction for the Northern Basin Only will be in place from Thursday June 8th-Friday June 9th, 2023.
• There is no swimming restriction in the southern basin.

Shoreline signage will be installed prior to treatment which states the swimming restriction window for the northern basin and irrigation restriction for the whole lake. Project brochures will be installed at the Sebago Boat Launch prior to treatment (a PDF of the brochure is attached to this email).

More information about the treatment is available on the project webpage. Parks has also posted blue banners regarding the treatment on the following webpages:

• Harriman State Park webpage “Know Before You Go” section 
• Lake Sebago Beach webpage “Know Before You Go” section

A link to the June 1st Group Camps information meeting is now available on YouTube as well as linked on the project webpage.

Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions.

Nawakwans shared warm memories at the Celebration of Life for Keyholder Elizabeth Ruiz-Gomez with her family, including her sons and parents, keyholders Carol & Bill Burns. Home-baked blueberry bread sweetened the event. Thanks to our BBQ Grill-Meisters, David Hayes and Mike Poris, and the numerous keyholders and applicants who helped with dinner prep and a smooth cleanup.
