The Three Lakes Council was organized
in 1972 to lead and coordinate the environmental efforts for the Lake Waccabuc -
Oscaleta - Rippowam watershed in the Town of Lewisboro, New York.
Our mission is to preserve and
protect the entire 2,200 acre watershed through education, conservation and
prevention. We are the only
non-profit association in the watershed with this mission, and we rely on the
financial generosity and volunteer efforts of many lake area residents to
accomplish our goals.

The purpose of the Three Lakes Council is five-fold:
-
To improve and safeguard water quality and the condition of Lakes
Oscaleta, Rippowam and Waccabuc.
-
To inform and educate the community in the Three Lakes watershed
about safeguarding and improving the quality of the
waters and watershed.
-
To encourage and support the management, preservation and
acquisition of valuable wetlands, shoreline and
other undeveloped portions of the Three Lakes.
-
To address issues that may be impacting the enjoyment of the lakes
by residents of the community.
-
To study and report on potential issues relevant to these purposes
and to coordinate community action when necessary.
