About the event
Paddle with a purpose — help us remove the invasive water chestnut from our waterways!
This event is organized by the Friends of Lake Warner and the Mill River. You can find out more about their excellent work at www.friendsoflakewarner.org.
Water chestnut is a harmful aquatic, invasive species, which is known to take over stretches of water. When left unchecked, water chestnut has the potential to decimate ecosystems and eliminate recreational opportunities.
Fortunately, it is easily identifiable and smaller infestations can be managed with trained volunteers hand-pulling the plant. The key to keeping water chestnut from invading new areas is to remove plants before they have a chance to set seeds.
Join us in Hadley, MA, to help us in our fight! Please register HERE.
