These dates are:

  • Rice Lake Pondweed Pull May 31 – June 10, 2022 (Bob Kary)

  • Regular Saturday morning work crews (organized by Pike Lake Neighbors)
    • 5/28, 6/11, 6/18, 7/2, 7/16, 7/30, 8/13, 8/27

Please donate as much of your time and resources as you can to these efforts, and encourage your friends and family to participate too.

To truly understand the enormous scope of the CLP invasion, sign up to spend some time with the Rice Lake crew.  And spend time with the Pike Lake crews to understand how we have a fighting chance to keep it at manageable levels on the Turtle River and Pike Lake before it becomes overwhelming.
