New law regarding lawn fertilizer The New Jersey Fertilizer Law was conceived to protect all New Jersey surface and ground waters from impairment. We have seen some of the effects in unsightly excessive weed growth, which disturbs the balance of the lake and requires chemical treatment. Please see the full law here and also read our brochure on the Pinelands here.

Beach Tags and Boat Decals Please be sure to have your 2011 Oakwood identifiers when using the lake, beach, picnic or tennis areas. At the beach, show your beach tag to the lifeguard and sign in for your party. On the lake or the boat rack, make sure your decals are on your water craft. If you paid your fee and missed the pick-up at beach clean-up, you can get tags and decals from Jerry Oyen (22 Pine Trail, 654-7788) or Mary Ann Brookes (38 Red Oak Trail, 953-4035). Please call first to make sure someone is available. Canoe Rack Update Because there are limited boat storage spaces and a substantial waiting list for spots on the racks, attendees at the 2011 Oakwood annual meeting voted to institute an application and fee process for users of the boat racks. The racks were installed as a convenience for non-lakefront members who frequent the lake, to avoid their having to repeatedly transport their watercraft to and from the boat launch. It appears, instead, that many of the boats are rarely used, but are permanently stored at the beach while frequent users are unable to get a space. This was not an issue just a few years ago, when demand was lower, but now the usage contrary to the original intention is causing acrimony among members. While several alternatives were discussed, including a lottery system, the decision was made to institute an application process with a $25 fee to ensure that only serious users would be allocated boat slots. The Shines kindly volunteered to administer the process and will collect the application and check from the holders of canoe rack space for this year. Important Notice.

Please do not put leaves or debris into the lake, as it disturbs the ecology of the water and will eventually cause expensive cleanup. Take advantage of the township's collection and make sure landscapers take debris for proper disposal. Please read the Pinelands Ecology Brochure |
