Boater Education/Inspection ProgramSave The Lakes has been working with the RI Department of Environmental Management to develop a program where volunteers help to distribute information about aquatic invasive plants (AIS) to boaters, while helping to inspect boats and trailers in order to prevent the movement of AIS from one lake to another. Designed to focus on intensive boating activities at popular boat ramps, Save The Lake volunteers piloted the initiative the weekend of October 15, 2011 at the Echo Lake (Pascoag Reservoir) state boat ramp during a fishing tournament. After hearing from several boaters that AIS were particularly bad at Wilson's Reservoir, the volunteers expanded their efforts to that lake as well. Below are some photos from the pilot event. Save The Lakes hopes to expand the program in 2012. We are looking for financial support to help print flyers and t-shirts, and always happy for additional volunteers!
