Summer Message from
President Luca Conte
It’s that time again! Sunshine, warm air, paddling, sailing, fishing, water sports and swimming are just around the corner, which means we all need boat access to and from our properties to get out into the amazing open navigable waters of Lake Bomoseen.
This will be our third season operating the Weed Harvester in our upper part of the lake—south of Float Bridge down to Crystal Beach—to help maintain boater navigation lanes so as to improve our access and enjoyment of the Lake. There is so much we would like to do; but we need YOUR help:
We, the LBPT Board are reaching out to all concerned property owners and the public who appreciate the need for this annual recurring task ensuring your watercraft access through the large weed beds south of Float Bridge. We receive no State or Town support to operate the Harvester and our annual aquatic weed harvesting program.
To maintain and potentially expand the scope of our harvesting program, we are requesting a $300 (or more) donation to help fund the 2026 summer harvesting program. With your help, our goal is to get the Harvester on its weed -cutting journey by July 1.
As a supporter your contribution is/will:
1. Fully deductible from your income taxes. The LBPT is a 501(c)3 charitable organization;
2. Allow multiple adjacent homeowners to receive prioritization of our services to help ensure that access lanes from your area remain open throughout the summer.
3. Enable us to: hire appropriate Staff; fuel and maintain the Harvester; maintain open lanes of access; and conduct proper cutting, collection, and disposal of the aquatic weeds as required by our permit.
Please send your contribution by check or Venmo as soon as possible to: LBPT, PO BOX 356, BOMOSEEN, VT 05732, or use our Venmo page at

For any questions, your suggestions, or if you’d like to personally drop off your contribution, please reach out to Luca Conte at Conteparker@gmail.com
Please feel free to share this information with all your friends and neighbors who support these efforts to control the weed problem in Lake Bomoseen. We are stronger and more effective when working together to support the health of Lake Bomoseen.
