Community volunteers restoring shoreline habitat

Restoration Project

The Lake Twelve Association, with Stewardship Partners as our 501(c)(3) fiscal sponsor, is pursuing a King County WaterWorks Council-Allocated grant to fund a focused, science-based restoration of Lake Twelve. Our plan centers on ProcellaCOR, the current best-practice aquatic herbicide for Eurasian watermilfoil control in Washington State — a selective, EPA-approved treatment applied at very low dosage rates with no restrictions on recreation, fishing, or drinking water.
