Good morning LSC. We are planning a VIP (Vermont Invasive Patrollers) Paddle next Saturday, September 21st, beginning at 9 AM at the boat launch area at the State Park in Poultney.

We'll paddle & patrol this launch area (where new invasives are likely to be introduced) looking for aquatic invasive species (AIS).

We'll have underwater viewers to be able to look at the lake bottom, we'll do a patrol, and then we'll report our findings to the DEC.

So, if you like to paddle, would like to learn more about LSC's aquatic plants, and would like to be part of an early warning system for detecting invasive species in LSC, please reach out to us at info@lakestcatherine.org to let us know you'd like to participate on September 21st - and we'll see you there!
