<b>What Is Lake Wise?</b>
The Lake Wise Program is an Agency of Natural Resources initiative that awards lake-friendly shoreland property, including that of state parks, town beaches, private homes and businesses.
Program Goal: The goal of Lake Wise is to establish a new normal, a new culture of lakeshore landscaping that is proven to help protect the lake. A property that earns the Lake Wise Award will represent a "model" shoreland property. The Lake Wise Award certifies a property is well managed, using shoreland Best Management Practices, and is maintained to care for the lake.

Description: The layer shows LULC (Land Use/Land Cover) for 96 Vermont lakes, mapped within a 600-meter buffer around each lake. It also includes LULC for 14 lakes mapped within a 100-ft (30.479 m) buffer. The additional 14 lakes (05/2010) are a subset of 51 lakes randomly selected by Water Quality VTDEC in order to statistically draw conclusion about the health of VT's lakes; 21 were mapped during the 2009 Wildife Action Plan. The remaining 16 randomly selected lakes are included in this dataset. The layers features are mapped using an Anderson Level 1 classification scheme (Anderson et al, 1976), with selected classes further refined to Levels 2 and 3, resulting in 14 classes.
Double-click a Lake's placemark to zoom into its shoreline area. At 64K scale, the LULC mapping will "turn-on" after a few seconds. Everytime you move your view within Google Earth, the content will refresh and return only those features within the view.
