| "Lake Captain and Deckhand" Training resulted in an invasive mystery snail smashing party for this youngster! |
The North Lakeland Discovery Center’s ‘Lake Captain and
Deckhand’ program trains volunteers to identify aquatic plants/animals and
monitor their waters for aquatic invasive species. We began the summer season
with a bang and are hosting numerous training sessions throughout the summer
for volunteers of all ages. Volunteers learn how to tell the difference between
invasive species and common native species in our waters. We encourage everyone
to keep their eyes open for aquatic invasive species while they are on the
water or on their shores! Every little bit helps to protect our lakes and keep
them beautiful for future generations.
