2017 Water Chestnut Attack

16. June 2017 · Write a comment · Categories: AIS, Events, Water quality

A record 22 volunteers showed up at the north end of the lake on the morning of June 10th to help hand-pull water chestnuts. Due to previous year’s hand-pulling events as well as the use of our cutter boat, we had far fewer water chestnuts to deal with this year, and 22 volunteers made a huge dent in the remaining weeds. We are making a difference.

Thanks to the following volunteers who made this event so successful:

John Bruford	Lisa Benfield	Jen Clark
Terry and Bill Cleary	Dawn and Mike Franceour	Leah Gorman (Capital/Mohawk PRISM)
Jim Hodgkins	Ron Jensis	Bernie Kelleher
Robin and Dan Langer	Linda Leader	George Longworth
Diane and Doug Petersen	Lisa and Steve Puvogel	Bridget Roos
Dan Riozzi	Rick Theriault

Additional thanks to:

Lisa and Steve Puvogel for allowing access to the lake across their property for our dump trailer; the dump trailer was used to transport the pulled weeds for disposal.
Dawn and Mike Franceour for the use of their boat to provide refreshments.
Steve Sigler for the use of his boat to transport the weeds to the dump trailer.
