HELP! Save MAINE Lakes Messalonskee W23
with Danielle Boutin

If you live in or visit Maine you have probably heard that one of the biggest threats to keeping our state’s water bodies clean and clear is the invasive species Variable Leaf Milfoil. The Friends of Messalonskee Lake have been hard at work for many years keeping the lake, that is in the towns of Belgrade, Oakland, & Sidney, clean and clear for all to enjoy. This summer their expert on milfoil removal is offering this 3-hour workshop on how to properly hand pull and dispose of it. You too can make a difference! Join her for this one-time class, and check out the Friends web page at www.friendsofmessalonskee.com. There will send a Short Supply list and Release Form coming in May. Sponsored by the Adult Ed office at Messalonskee High School and Friends of Messalonskee Lake. Rain date is July 8. Limit 10 students.
