We received the following press release from the Lake George Park Commission about its yearly milfoil eradication efforts.
The good news;
“During 2008, Lycott Environmental Inc. work crews under the Commission’s direction hand harvested more than 14,000 invasive milfoil plants and installed 115,850 square feet of benthic barrier material to smother dense beds of milfoil. Ninety-three sites were cleared of milfoil during 2008. An additional 47 sites remain clear from past management activities.”
Now there is still more work to do because some new sites have been identified, but the overall progress seems positive.
