Join a manual water chestnut removal effort on Thursday, July 25th, 2024 on the Oswegatchie River. Participants should arrive by 9:45 AM and have their boats ready to launch. The event will kick off promptly at 10 AM with an overview of water chestnut and a hand-pull technique demonstration.
We will paddle between the Village of Heuvelton Boat Launch and Eel Weir State Park. We will divide participants into two groups launching from two different launch sites. Each paddle is approximately 3 miles long, totaling between 3 and 4 hours depending on how many plants we find and paddle speeds.
Participants should bring their own watercraft, and life jackets are required. Some kayaks, seats in canoes, and life jackets can be borrowed upon request but space is limited and will be offered on a first come first serve basis.
Registration is required to attend this event and should be completed by each participant no later than Monday, July 22nd to allow time to process required liability waiver forms. More details regarding launch logistics will be emailed to those who register.
