The Fish Stocking Program began in the 1990’s and in 2025 has been established as NLA’s primary fundraising goal for 2025. Brookfield Renewable Energy has committed to donate $3,000.00 and we are actively fundraising to reach our goal of $6,000.00. Sherri Bartlett Chairs this committee, she has been instrumental in obtaining the NYSDEC stocking permit and working with suppliers to ensure there is available fish for a fall stock. Species being considered are largemouth bass, yellow perch, blue gill, black crappie, and golden shiners.
The Jim McFaddin Memorial Scholarship Fund was established January 13th, 2025. The scholarship will be awarded annually at the NNCS scholarship ceremony in late May.
The established criteria for high school seniors:
The Lake Monitoring Program is a new concept/undertaking starting in 2025. The Fish Stocking/Invasive Species/Water Quality Committee is working on ideas and a schedule for becoming more proactive with our lake.
The Youth/Community Art Program was established to encourage our communities & youth through art. Connecting our lake (Raquette River), community, and youth is beneficial for all of us. Working with NNCS Art Club the youth committee is actively working on 2 projects: 1) Repainting the Village of Norwood signs (fall ’25) and 2) A multi-district Art Competition during the ’25-’26 school year culminating with an Art show at the Norwood Municipal Building in April ’26. This program also supports the Arts in our community i.e. The Norwood Village Green Concert Series.
