Keeping our lake waters clean and free of invasive species

Spring 2022 3
  • Fighting aquatic invasive species
    • With the help of volunteers in our Lake Scout Program, we survey the lake for AIS such as Eurasian Watermilfoil and Curly-Leaf Pondweed.
    • Annual harvesting of Eurasian Watermilfoil
      • Along with SLA and grants to the towns of Schroon, Chester and Horicon, we assist with funding professionals to hand harvest Milfoil.
    • Helping to ensure boats arriving at the Horicon boat launch don’t spread invasives through our involvement with boat steward inspections and decontamination efforts.
  • Testing for water quality and bacteriological concerns.
  • Participating in CSLAP (Citizens Statewide Lake Assessment Program) to obtain baseline water quality information, understand trends and maintain the health of Schroon Lake.
