Water Chestnut Hand Pull – Saturday, July 13, 9am – 11am

10. July 2024 · Comments Off · Categories: AIS, Aquatic Invasive Species, Area news · Tags: AIS, invasive species, water chestnuts, weeds

To continue our battle against aquatic invasive species, the WATER CHESTNUT HAND-PULLING EVENT has been rescheduled to SATURDAY, JULY 13, 9am – 11am. We need two dozen volunteers for this event to be successful.

Please meet at the north end of the lake at 9am with your kayak, canoe, rowboat, raft, or any vessel that can navigate shallow water. Gloves and perhaps a rake would be helpful, but are not required. If you can help, you are welcome to park at the launch Saturday morning without a membership sticker.

We will be concentrating our efforts on the north-western shoreline between the water slide and the north bay. A few volunteers may be dispersed to a different area where new water chestnut growth has been identified. Pulled weeds will be transferred to the Eco-Harvester and brought to shore for disposal. Light refreshments will be available.

Thanks in advance for helping to reduce the spread of aquatic invasive species.

It’s Time to Pull Water Chestnuts Again

WATER CHESTNUT HANDPULL POSTPONED TO
SATURDAY, JULY 13, 9am-11am

To help reduce the spread of this aquatic invasive species, a water chestnut hand-pulling event is planned for ~~Saturday, June 29, 9:00 am – 11:00 am~~ SATURDAY, JUNE 13, 9am-11am. We need two dozen volunteers for this event to be successful. Please meet at the north end of the lake with your kayak, canoe, rowboat, raft, or any vessel that can navigate very shallow water. Gloves and perhaps a rake would be helpful, but are not required. A few teams of volunteers may be dispersed to various coves/shorelines around the lake where new water chestnut growth has been identified. Pulled weeds will be transferred to the Eco-Harvester and brought to shore for disposal. In the event of pouring rain or lightning, the ‘pull’ will take place at the same time on Sunday, June 30. Some light refreshments may be available. Please come and be part of the solution.

As in past years, some water chestnuts will be pulled with the Eco-Harvester prior to this event. However, due to the risk of damage to the harvester drum, it cannot be operated in the very shallow water where many of the water chestnuts are growing.

Please note that a second water chestnut hand-pulling event may be needed on Saturday, July 13, 9am to 11am, depending on the success of the June 29 event. Stay tuned and check back here or on Facebook for any potential changes.

It’s Time Again to Remove Invasive Water Chestnuts

01. July 2023 · Comments Off · Categories: AIS, Aquatic Invasive Species, General Information · Tags: AIS, invasive species, water chestnuts, weeds

While our EcoHarvester is doing a great job attacking the dense areas of water chestnuts at the north end of the lake (per our DEC permit), it cannot grab the multitude of smaller patches and single plants growing along the shorelines all around the lake. Therefore, WE NEED YOUR HELP.

If you have a canoe, kayak, paddleboard, or small fishing boat that can access shallow areas, or whether you live on or off the lake, please cruise around the shorelines and grab as many water chestnut plants as possible. It’s quite easy to spot the leaves on the surface of the water (see photo).

Reach down as far as you can and try to pull the plants with the roots; no problem if the stem breaks. Bring gloves and trash bags to collect the plants. You can let the pulled plants dry on your lawn and either burn them, toss them in the trash, or use them as mulch in your garden. If you do this by mid-July, you will have likely removed the plants before the barbed seed nutlets form. Removal will help prevent propagation of new invasive water chestnuts. Each single plant removed can prevent hundreds of new water chestnut plants from growing in the future.

ProcellaCor Spot Treatment Coming This Summer

10. March 2023 · Comments Off · Categories: AIS, Aquatic Invasive Species · Tags: AIS, Eurasian milfoil, invasive species, milfoil, ProcellaCor, water treatment, weeds

The KLC has submitted a permit application to the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) to treat up to five acres of Eurasian milfoil with ProcellaCor in June 2023. This is the same herbicide that was used to treat and eradicate over 200 acres of milfoil in 2021. This is a preventative measure to eradicate a few small patches of milfoil identified last summer before they spread and turn into larger weed beds that could interfere with boating and other recreational activities. The cost of the treatment will be covered by your donations to the Weed Management Fund. As required by DEC, ProcellaCor product labels must be posted on our website; see the sidebar Quick Links. Additional information about this summer’s treatment will be posted here later in the spring.

Water Chestnut Harvesting

11. July 2021 · Comments Off · Categories: AIS · Tags: aquatic invasive species, ECO-Harvester, harvesting, invasive species, water chestnuts, weeds

Due to this year’s ProcellaCor treatment that appears to have eradicated most of the Eurasian milfoil in the lake, the EcoHarvester was only used to harvest water chestnuts. Since most of the water chestnuts reside in shallower water at the north end of the lake, the harvester was easily able to pull them out with their roots well before the nutlets had a chance to grow. About 1 acre of water chestnuts was harvested on July 7th in accordance with our DEC permit.

2018 Water Chestnut Hand-Pulling Event Planned

19. May 2018 · Write a comment · Categories: AIS, Events, Water quality · Tags: AIS, invasive species, weeds

To help reduce the spread of this aquatic invasive species, a water chestnut hand-pulling event is planned for Saturday, June 23, 9:00 am – 11:00 am. We need two dozen volunteers for this event to be successful. As in past years, please meet at the north end of the lake with your kayak, canoe, rowboat, raft, or any vessel that can navigate very shallow water. Don’t forget heavy gloves and perhaps a rake. Pulled weeds will be transferred to the ECO-Harvester and brought to shore for disposal. This year, a few teams of volunteers may be dispersed to various coves around the lake where water chestnut growth has been identified. Light refreshments will be provided. In the event of pouring rain, the ‘pull’ will take place at the same time on Sunday, June 24. Please come and be part of the solution.

Why don’t we pull the water chestnuts with the ECO-Harvester? Two reasons: (1) Our DEC permit does not allow it, and (2) There is a risk of damage to the harvester drum if we run it in the shallow water where most of the water chestnuts are growing.
