The Courtesy Boat Inspection Program is the first line of defense in protecting our lake from invasive aquatic species. Toddy Pond has both paid and volunteer inspectors inspecting boats and providing information to boaters from early May through early September.. This statewide DEP program is supported by Toddy Pond Association as well as private and public funding.

We are pleased to have Steve continue for his 9th season doing the CBI at Toddy. He lives within walking distance of the landing and keeps an eye on things even when off-duty. CBI helps support his lobstering activities but we know Steve loves his job (and the sun too). He probably knows 95% of the boaters including people he knew from working at the Bucksport mill for over 45 years.
After a two season hiatus, I'm looking forward to being back at the Toddy landing this summer. As a long time fan of a good environment and boating, I have the opportunity to look at a lot of boats, chat with boaters and fishermen and hopefully contribute to a positive future for Toddy Pond. This is a great retirement gig for a tired old geezer with some time on his hands.
Arnold returns as a CBI inspector for another year.
