Photos from the Crystal Lake Preservation 2021 Milfoil survey and removal

As of Early August 2021, your CLPA team and our master Diver Rob have completed 3 lake surveys and harvested over 15 gallons of Milfoil from our Lake. The overall status is that about 10 plants have been harvested from the South end “hot spot” and much more (the rest of the 15 gallons, see pictures below) have come from the outlet hot spot over the dives.

Here are some pictures of the work in action. Our job is to keep this from expanding and clogging up our precious lake. 

Rob the diver surveying and harvesting in our South End Hot Spot, and the plants harvested at that location on our 2nd dive of the year.. The 2 plants below, show the native (good) plants on the left (more pink and smaller more concentrated leaves) and the Eurasian Milfoil (Bad) Plants on the right, wider, more green leaves, taller plant with more spaced out leaf structures..

And finally, the 10 gallons harvested on our last visit to the outlet hotspot (2 big bags).
