What is your goal? Floating trash? Drift wood? Specific areas? I love the idea and hope there are many volunteers that join in.

We are looking at both drift wood and trash as well as shoreline and public ramps and docks. We will have grounds crews and boats involved but really need to find more kayaks to speed up shoreline areas. We would also like private shoreline and dock owners to pitch in and could leave their debris on their docks for the boat crews to pick up. We will have an off color trash bag that stands out so they will be easily visible. Once I have supplies they will be at Shep Brown's or Goodhue and Hawkins for pickup by volunteers and shoreline residents. We are hoping to add some other pickup locations as well.

A super idea. Just a drop of advice as a waterfront owner--most private waterfront owners do not need incentive or help to clean up their shorelines. So before offering the dockside debris pickup to a wide audience, you might consider how the boat crews could be put to better use elsewhere in the cleanup process.

Thanks Peter I will take that into consideration as we get more organized. If you have any other suggestions please feel free to send them along.

I think all those responsible for the " Fishing Derby " should be mandatory volunteers for the spring clean up.

Default .... milfoil removal

https://www.des.nh.gov/media/pr/2016...c-invasive.htm

Is it ok if I show up with my $14.88 Walmart.com fishing waders and $8.99 steel landscape rake to remove all the dreaded milfoil weeds growing in the sandy bottom along the Meredith Bay boardwalk, close to the docks at the paddle board rental and Inn at Church Point? There's lots of very yucky milfoil growing there in the shallow water, that can be seen from the boardwalk and docks. It's seems to be pretty simple to get it removed ...... just like doing yard work.......you rake it out of the sandy bottom and place it into a big plastic trash can with a tight lid that actually floats pretty much water tight.

Unless you is a duck or a goose that likes to eat the milfoil and spread its' milfoil seeds, milfoil is an invasive species or a fast growing, water weed that clogs up the lake.
