When: June 3, 2025, 10am-1pm
Where: Knickerbocker Lake, Boothbay
In partnership with the Boothbay Region Clean Drinking Water Initiative and the Boothbay Region Water District, Lake Stewards of Maine (LSM) will host a Plant Paddle workshop at Knickerbocker Lake on June 3, from 10:00 am to 1:00 pm.
In this outdoor, on-water class, guests will learn how to survey for suspicious aquatic plants. This useful program will cover basic botany, plant structure, and life cycles for a variety of common plants. Guests will learn how to use LSM’s Quick Key to determine whether plants are suspicious of being invasive, discover which aquatic invasive plants are infesting Maine lakes, and learn how to monitor lakes and how to report findings by becoming an invasive plant patrol (IPP) volunteer. This class is required for those seeking Tier 1 IPP Certification through LSM.
This class is free to all. Guests may bring their own small, shallow draft craft (canoe, kayak, row boat). Should guests wish to attend but do not have their own watercraft, appropriate arrangements can be made.
Pre-registration is required for all guests. Register Now!
