Join LCC and the Milton Historical Society for a program on aquatic invasive species!
Date: Wednesday, August 6 2025
Time: 6:30 – 8pm
Location: Sandbar Wildlife Management Area Area, Milton (Across the street (Route 2) from Sandbar State Park)
For this event, we will give an overview of invasive species in Lake Champlain and discuss how they got there and ways to prevent their introduction and spread to new areas. We will then learn about some of these species: how to identify them and tell them apart from native aquatic plants, and best ways to manage them. Then we will also do a hands-on activity to “hunt” for invasives by tossing aquatic rakes into the water and inventorying what we rake up—surveying helps us better understand who is living in our lake and how invasive species are spread.
