The Eco-Beast has been hard at work since mid-June. First stop, Musky Bay for curly-leaf pondweed, then on to those sites with the most Eurasian watermilfoil - Chicago Bay, Anchor Bay, and now it is in Little LCO. The Eco-Beast is much improved from last year, and multiple trailer loads of plants have been hauled away from the lakes. The volunteer effort has been outstanding. Still some issues - mechanical glitches and the need for even more volunteers. The low lake level has made it difficult to get the Eco-Beast into and out of the water. The trailer has been modified to make it a little easier. Much remains to be done, and it is clear that herbicides will be needed for 2023. Maps of AIS locations are being made and updated for treatment next year.
