Invasive IDs: Lakes Association Seeking Plant Samples This Weekend

The Fulton Chain of Lakes Association will provide a booth at the Antique Boat Show in Old Forge on Saturday, July 9 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. where aquatic plant samples can be dropped off.

Members of the association will be able to determine whether samples are that of an invasive species, and whether measures should be taken to remove the plants from local waters.

Samples should be placed in a zip-lock bag with a note attached giving the day the plant was found, its location and the contributor’s name and phone number.

FCLA directors will also be present to answer questions and provide information about their current projects and concerns.
