Lake Carmi Boat Launch Steward

Since 2015, each summer there has been a Boat Launch Steward present at Lake Carmi. The purpose of this role is to check boats before and after entering Lake Carmi for aquatic invasive species. Stewards survey boats and report these surveys to a statewide effort to track and minimize the spread of these invasive species. In 2021, we had two greeters present for the first time, which helped increase the effectiveness of our work to prevent the spread of invasive species. Funding for this effort was made possible by a grant we were awarded by the Lake Champlain Basin Program.
