Brush Lake, ND

The Mercer Brush Lake Community Association board had a strategic planning meeting where we identified needs, weaknesses, and strengths of our lake. We wanted to present our findings to the Brush Lake community and get your thoughts so we developed a survey. It should take less than 5 minutes to complete and will help us identify where you would like resources focused- for the short and long term.

Please take some time to give us your thoughts, we would greatly appreciate it! Survey will be available until May 11 and findings from the survey will be shared at the spring meeting. Thank you!

YOUR ATTENTION PLEASE!!!! The recent storm left damage to the public beach, Memorial Grove and the yard at the Pavillion. The costs of tree removal is NOT covered by our insurance. On Saturday morning the 21st of July bright and early at 9 am, we will meet on the public beach and begin to restore our beautiful lake surroundings. We need people, chain saws and trailers to move downed trees to the pit. Please consider spending a few hours of your time, talent and resources to contribute to your lake community! Thank you!

GOOD NEWS – NEW TREE PIT
Members of the Rec Board, Lake Board, and our land Renter met this morning and determined a new tree disposal area in the south pasture. Get the word out, follow these rules, and directions.
Rules.
1. ONLY TREES, take your building material elsewhere or burn.
2. The old tree pit is CLOSED and off limits.
3. There are white flags that show the route to the pit. Stay within the marked areas. Do not drive all over the pasture.
4. The pit boundary is marked by orange cones, keep piles within them. Try to cut into manageable size in case they have to be moved again.
5. Start dumping on the south side, and work west and north.
6. You can back in from the west. Bring someone with you, there are some large rocks you will want to avoid.
7. The north side has a large rise, only dump from the rise after the pit is getting full. We want the piles as close together to provide as much room as possible.
8. The area will be open until the end of August. Don’t wait until fall to clean up.
Direction.
The area is south of the pavilion road, west of the highway, and north of the dry slough. The gate is directly across from the road to the public beach entering the pasture that is to the south. Follow the little white flags to the orange cones. Please stay within the flags, there is room down there to turn around.
