Steve Hanson, Senior Regional Manager with PLM has 23 years of experience in the Aquatic Industry. He holds a Master of Science in Fisheries, a Bachelor’s in Fisheries & Wildlife. For over a decade Steve has been our representative for the Lake Fenton Invasive Species Weed Treatment program. Below is the presentation he gave at the August LFPOA Board Meeting. 

​​​Based on feedback from residents regarding the non-native weed growth in the lake, your LFPOA Board of Directors supported the renewal of the lake-wide invasive species weed treatment program. We made this decision after gathering all the facts and talking to many other lake associations in Michigan who have similar lake management plans. We feel that this program will help keep our lake healthy, promote better native weed growth for improved fish reproduction, and help sustain long-term property values.

​If you’ve had a pontoon boat on Lake Fenton for a couple of years, either you – or someone you know – has had a muskrat destroy the wiring under the pontoons. This mostly happens in the fall when young muskrats leave their parent’s nest and start one on their own. To a young muskrat, a nest of branches and leaves in the well between the pontoons is just as good as a nest in the banks of the lake where they normally live.
