WATER CHESTNUT PULLS COMING UP - PLEASE HELP OUR LAKE
(Note from Jeff O'Handley of OCCA)
I hope this note finds you well! I just wanted to let you know OCCA will be back on Goodyear Lake this summer to continue work on water chestnut removal. We currently have dates scheduled for Sunday, July 7 from 1-4pm and Saturday, August 3--time to be announced, and can schedule additional dates as needed. We are also scouting this year for European frog-bit, which has turned up in Otsego County and we’re hoping to shut it down before it gets well established. I hope we’ll be able to see you all during the summer
EUROPEAN FROG - BIT

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)
