​Learn to help our lake,
​​Invasive Species
​Virtual Training!

Picture

Help protect your local lake by looking for aquatic invasive species! This is an easy and fun way to give back to the lakes we love. To date, over 800 citizen scientists have surveyed over 400 lakes throughout the Adirondacks. Volunteers attend a training and commit to monitoring a lake of their choice one time between July and September.
This virtual Lake Protectors training will give participants the skills they need to support local conservation while having fun out on the water. We encourage all volunteers to attend a virtual or in person training (dates to be later in the summer) to learn how to identify the invasive species and report your observations. Webinar recordings will be available via APIPP's YouTube channel to get involved with self-guided trainings following the live event. 
9:00am -- 10:15am: Aquatic Invasive Species Identification 
10:30am -- 11:30am: Survey Methods

 For more questions please reach out to Brian Greene, APIPP Aquatic Invasive Species Coordinator (Brian.Greene@TNC.org)

End of 2021 Summer Picnic at Lands End Property.
See pics below...


Roughly 20 people came and went, we got a little rain (no one melted). No body left with an empty tummy. Great burgers and hot dogs, grilled onions, 4 different bean salads, a fresh spinach, raspberry, walnut salad and 2 kinds of coleslaw, fresh veggies and to top it off, 3 kinds of cookies (and more) and a Cherry Dump Cake that was the crowd favorite! Big thanks to our set up crew and our Grill masters!!! We hope to see you next year!

 If you don’t have it already, Diet for a Small Lake is a great reference for lake-side property owners and Lake associations, as it covers all of the major aspects of lake ecology, watersheds, management options, and regulatory considerations.  You can purchase it from NYSFOLA or find it in sections on the DEC website.
(Thanks to Holly Waterfield of the Biological Field Station for the info)
