Volunteers will use kayaks, paddleboards or canoes to collect floating EWM fragments that escape during harvesting. Removing these fragments is important because even small pieces of EWM can take root and spread to new areas of the lake. We hope to have 4–5 volunteers helping each day.

Unfortunately, this prevented us from using divers or Diver Assisted Suction Harvesting (DASH) to remove milfoil. The annual EWM mapping survey, conducted in mid-August, indicates that EWM presence in the North Basin remains similar to last year. However, individual plants are beginning to spread into shallow areas...]]></description><link>https://www.gilmorelake.com/post/ewm-report-training-to-help-residents-stop-the-spread</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a53c48a6c2bae2e27933bf1</guid><pubDate>Thu, 30 May 2024 05:00:00 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/3d2ae0_7bcdf546c02e4a418f8c02bc2a4a515c~mv2.png/v1/fit/w_900,h_500,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>admin291771</dc:creator></item></channel></rss>
