2024 Milfoil Milita Updates Coordinators: Pam Wilkinson & Tim Greer Looking back, Looking Forward - Other Threats on The Horizon

Occasionally, look down at the lake’s bottom or snorkel in your area and report any changes. Please visit these sites to become familiar with what might be an invasive threat in front of you. Contact pwilkinson@littlesegagolake. com with any questions, concerns, or if you wish to have an inspection in your area of the lake. To become more knowledgeable on native and invasive species visit the following sites: mainelakes.org; lakestewardsofmaine. org; maine.gov/dep/water/invasives Please stay at least 200 feet away from the milfoil boat in operation. We need this for the safety of our divers and to reduce waves which compromise the intake that is in the water and needed to maintain suction. Signs will be displayed on the boat and dive flags will be flying.

Milfoil Boat Traveling

LSLA thanks you for your generous donations to support the milfoil militia program. Without you the operations would not go so smoothly. Tim Greer manages our fleet, and they are working boats, so maintenance is key. Thanks also goes to those who have volunteered to assist us.
