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.

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.
