The Three Ponds Protective Association's mission is to preserve and improve healthy water quality and sound land-use practices in and around the Milton/Lebanon Three Ponds including watershed areas. The Milton Three Ponds are in a very vulnerable position, with heavy human usage, invasives, cyanobacteria blooms, climate change and declining water quality. They are located between two communities that have economic challenges and aren't always well-informed about the environment that is so critical to the their financial stability, health and recreational enjoyment.
