Learn how to identify invasive aquatic plants and their native look-alikes on a guided paddle of Newfound Lake. Participants will learn how to conduct a Weed Watcher survey and leave this training with the knowledge to serve as an NLRA Weed Watcher. Weed Watchers observe Newfound Lake for potential aquatic invasive plant infestations, a key role in keeping Newfound Lake free from aquatic invasive plants. Participants will need to supply their own paddle craft.

These fast-growing plants can harm water quality, crowd out native species, and create hazards for recreators. As a Weed Watcher, you’ll help monitor Newfound Lake for early signs of invasive species — a vital step in protecting the lake we all love.
