Adopt a Shoreline 2021

We Need Your Eyes! Find Aquatic Invaders

Last year some people took part in reporting areas of concern and were interested in this program. We need many more to become Invasive Plant Patrollers (IPP). It is simple and fun. What better excuse than to spend a few hours at a time on the lake. Instead of viewing the shoreline, you view the bottom for vegetation. Preferably this is done once a month to view the growth as summer waters get warmer. You first need to know what you are looking for; know the difference between the native plants that support the ecosystem and how to identify invasive plants or organisms that are harmful to the natural cycle of the lake. Lake Stewards of Maine has information and videos for you to view and see if you have interest: www.lakestewardsofmaine.org. Please contact me and expand the areas on the lake to be surveyed. Be part of our lakes early response team by contacting pwilkinson@littlesebagolake.com.
