Although Invasive Species Awareness Week has wrapped up for this year, the work to combat the spread of aquatic invasives in our Adirondack lakes, ponds and other bodies of water is ongoing.

Here’s a recap of some recent coverage:

Adirondack Explorer’s policy reporter Gwen Craig discusses efforts to fight the spread of aquatic invasives in this recent Capital Pressroom interview: http://www.wcny.org/june-11-2020-adirondacks-prepare-for-next-bout-with-invasive-species/

And here’s her recent story about the test trial of an herbicide to target milfoil on Minerva Lake: https://www.adirondackexplorer.org/stories/apa-approves-herbicide.

New York Sea Grant has redesigned, enhanced access, and added resources to the New York State Invasive Species Clearinghouse website: https://www.adirondackalmanack.com/2020/06/stop-aquatic-hitchhikers-redesigned-ny-invasive-species-clearinghouse.html
