Mark your calendars. Join ALT and Lake Stewards of Maine for a plant paddle. During this outdoor, on-water class, guests will learn how to survey for suspicious aquatic plants. We will be covering basic botany, plant structure, and life cycles for a variety of common plants. Participants will learn how to use LSM’s Quick Key to determine whether plants are suspicious of being invasive, discover which aquatic invasive plants are infesting Maine lakes, and learn how to monitor lakes and how to report findings by becoming an invasive plant patrol (IPP) volunteer. This is a great way to protect Maine’s waterways from invasive plants all while enjoying float around Loon Pond.
This is a free event and will be held at Camp Gustin on June 5 from 9-12. Bring your own canoe or kayak and we will teach you the rest. If you wish to attend but do not have your own watercraft, contact Amy.Soper@androscogginlandtrust.org. Pre-registration is required for all guests. Please sign up by visiting:
