Invasive water chestnuts are once again emerging in many shallow areas of the lake. While our harvester can remove water chestnuts in water greater than 3-feet deep, hand-harvesting is the only way to remove water chestnuts in shallow water. Therefore, two (2) water chestnut hand-harvesting events are scheduled for this summer:
- Saturday, June 28, 10:00am to noon.
- Saturday, July 12, 10:00am to noon
Please meet at the north end of the lake with any vessel that can navigate shallow water (kayak, canoe, raft, paddle board, john boat, etc.). Please bring your work gloves and perhaps a small rake if you have one. We will be collecting water chestnuts by hand and transferring them to the Eco-Harvester for disposal. Some light refreshments will be available.If the weather forecast calls for heavy rain or thunderstorms, each event will take place on the Sunday following the scheduled event, June 29 or July 13. Please check back here or our Facebook page on the Friday before each event for any weather postponements.
