Lake Lily Island Restoration & Invasive Growth Control Efforts
May 28, 2025
We are pleased to share the news of the restoration of the Island in Lake Lily along with the aquatic weed treatment. The Cape May Point Taxpayers Association has promised a grant for the Borough to accomplish this starting in the coming months.

From Hope Luken, President of the Taxpayers Association:
To: Suzane Yunghans (CMPT Borough Public Works)
"On behalf of the Cape May Point Taxpayers' Association I am pleased to let you know that you will receive a grant for improvements to Lake Lily. Our board has decided that assuming all relevant approvals are obtained, Cape May Point Taxpayers will grant up to $8,000 for the aquatic weed treatments of Lake Lily upon presentation of an appropriate bill or purchase order for this work. In addition, Cape May Point Taxpayers' Association will grant $2,000 for the planting of native species on Lake Lily Island following the removal of invasives and under the same conditions as above."

The Friends for Lake Lily wish to thank the Taxpayers Association for their gift to the Borough for this project. We continue to work with all of the groups and volunteers to keep Lake Lily a pristine environment for our wildlife and visitors.

Last restored by Steve Church and his Dad in the early 1990's, here are a few photos of the work. We hope to bring back the Island and Lake to its grand posture as a centerpiece of Cape May Point.
