2023 was a huge year for Friends of Lake Monroe!

This quarter we wrapped up our first project through our Lake Monroe Conservation Cost-Share Program.

One year into our voluntary Conservation Cost-Share Program we have approved five projects, allocating $45,000 of the available $90,000 in grant funds.

Friends of Lake Monroe is pleased to present Our Wondrous Watershed, a new photo exhibit featuring work by fourteen members of the Bloomington Photography Club. The exhibit opens Friday, November 3rd at the Brick Room Gallery, 107 N College Avenue, and will be open from 5 to 8 PM each Friday during the month of November.
