Moosehead Lake Initiative
2008 Photo Journal
As many of you know, the VLMP Center for Invasive Aquatic Plants recently received a major grant from The Betterment Fund to launch an exciting project in the Moosehead Lake region. The primary goals of the Moosehead Lake Volunteer Monitoring Initiative are:
to lay the foundation for an ongoing, volunteer-based, invasive aquatic plant prevention and early detection program in the Moosehead Lake region
to engage trained volunteers in the largest invasive aquatic plant screening survey ever attempted in Maine
to screen the entire littoral area of Moosehead Lake for the presence of invasive aquatic plants over the next two field seasons
collect baseline information on Moosehead Lake's native aquatic plant communities
The 2008 Moosehead Lake Survey Team, comprised of trained volunteers, agency personnel and VLMP staff, was superb. Not all team members could participate the entire week, but at maximum capacity the team was a dozen strong. From left to right Jackey Bailey, Elin Haugen, Bunny Wescott, Christine Guerette, Roberta Hill, Bob & Sibyl French, Keith Williams and Ross Wescott. Absent from this photo are Mark Whiting, Kelly Stewart, and Sally Breen (who volunteered to be the team chef!)
