Time to join the “Starry Trek” event

Join the group, meeting close by at the Ripple Lake public access on Saturday, August 21, at 8 a.m. Training will be given before volunteer detectives head out to nearby lakes. You will search for starry stonewort, a fast-growing, grass-like form of algae. It is believed to be spread by boats, trailers, etc. As it reproduces, it creates dense mats on the lake surface. That interferes with just about all lake activities.

Link here to Aitkin county SWCD.org, click on Starry Trek and select the Ripple Lake location in Aitkin County.

Materials and other items will be provided for all participants.

This is a great …..and close by….opportunity to learn how to identify native and non native lake plants. We all thank you for sharing your time and efforts.
