Save Our Lake Organization of Lake Norman NC

SOLO (which stands for Save Our Lake) of Lake Norman is a non-profit 501C3 environmental organization whose sole objective is promoting a cliean Lake Norman.

We have declared the Great Blue Heron the Lake Norman's official bird. Do you have any photos of herons? We would love to showcase your heron photos on our website. Feel free to email them to us. We would be honored to place them in our heron section to share with all who visit this site.

We need volunteers to help continue our efforts to promote a clean Lake Norman and Catawaba River Basin.

The Catawaba River has been designated as America's #1 Endangered River. We need your help to clean and preserver our environment.

Wildlife abounds here on Lake Norman. We enjoy an abundance of birds ranging from the great blue heron to several species of song birds, ducks and geese. You often see the playful chipmunks, squirrels and rabbits as well as an occasional deer.

Lake Norman provides a wonderful array of fish. Whether young or retired, the fishing at Lake Norman has always yielded a day of fun as well as some exciting catches. Keeping our lake healthy ensures future generations enjoyment of bass tournaments, boating, skiing, and swimming, not to mention the necessary good quality drinking water it provides.
