June AIS Surveys


Our first two aquatic invasive species (AIS) surveys for 2024 are in the books! For our first paddle (launching from McCrea Point Park), our survey crew didn’t find anything but curly-leaf pondweed and Eurasian watermilfoil, which was expected as they are everywhere and have been for quite some time. We re-checked the area near the Lawson Boat & Motor marina where one single water chestnut was found last year, and we came out empty-handed!


For our second paddle (launching from Celoron Park), we checked a few known areas that last year had thousands of invasive plants and that took three separate trips back to remove. This year, these areas still had some invasives, but we only found and removed about 250 plants. And we were able to get them all in one shot – a sure sign of progress that our hand-pulling removal efforts are working!
