High water quality and natural buffers exist on Kingswood Lake located in Brookfield, New Hampshire. A Comprehensive Lakes Inventory (CLI) was recorded and health of the land, wildlife, and waterways were observed. Educational outreach was taken to inform the local community and to instruct them on proper stewardship of the land. A completed watershed management plan was constructed including key recommendation of limiting nitrogen loading in the area, checking septic systems for leaching, stabilizing shoreline from erosion, and establishing man-made rain gardens to help preserve water quality. The Kingswood watershed management plan acts as a guide for the town of Brookfield, New Hampshire to help protect water quality for future generations and to provide residents with the necessary tools needed to begin this commitment to their natural environment.
