Dig Deep to Bring Back Depth

Help us restore the heart of our nature preserve — together.

Over time, runoff and yard waste have filled Silver Lake with sediment, threatening water quality, wildlife, and recreation.

Our last dredge only cost $175,000 — savings made possible by storing 8,458 cubic yards of sediment onsite. By comparison, Murphey Candler Lake’s dredge cost $1.5 million to remove just 38% more sediment with off-site disposal, which our next dredging will require.

Our goal is to raise $750,000 before contracting a lake dredging services firm.
