It costs BLIMP $40,000-45,000/year to control milfoil.

Most members of Lake Associations make an annual donation to BLIMP. A number of associations include the donation as a line item on the annual association assessment. We suggest $50 per camp, but whatever you can afford is the right amount.

Your donation will help pay for the divers, DASH vessel operations and any herbicide treatments. The property owners on Balch Lake must join in to keep milfoil under control. Milfoil will not go away.

The towns of Acton, Newfield and Wakefield all put money in their annual town budgets to help BLIMP keep on top of the milfoil issue.
