RLPP Macrophyte Harvesting
The 4th annual campaign to cut and remove macrophytes (water-based vegetation) from Red Lily Pond and Lake Elizabeth will take place July 17, 18, and 19. Past campaigns have resulted in removing tons of dense vegetation from our ponds, clearing pathways for paddlers and improving habitat for fish, birds, and wildlife. The addition of Benthic Barriers covering the cut areas have extended the effectiveness of removing vegetation in the ponds.
Volunteers are desperately needed to get the job done again this year. You can work on cutting, picking, paddling, pulling, photographing, or preparing paperwork. While some of the work occurs in the water, most of it occurs above the water or on shore. Red Lily Pond Project provides tools and equipment, as well as lunch and water for all volunteers.
Show up, any time between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. on July 17, 18, or 19.
Students who participate should be able to claim credit for community service hours (we will provide letters confirming your work, and photographs, as well as a description of how this work is an important element of environmentally sound fresh water management).
Lunch will be provided.

RLPP Phragmite Cutting and Removal
Volunteers are needed to do the actual cutting in the stream (wet foot) and on land to cut up and bag the phragmites (dry foot).
Volunteers who will work in the stream should wear high, waterproof boots and gloves. RLPPA has some that will be available. Volunteers who work on land should have gloves and wear clothing that will protect from tics. Hedge clippers are needed for both in stream and on land. Garden rakes are also needed for moving phragmites from the stream. Please bring what you have!
This is the 5th year of cutting phragmites from the herring run, which has helped keep them in check from clogging the run and thus discouraging herring from spawning into Lake Elizabeth. This project is one part of the comprehensive work being undertaken by Red Lily Pond Project for the enhancement and health of our ponds.
