Cornell Cooperative Extension of Cayuga County will be holding a training session on Saturday June 27th; 10:00 am at their offices; 248 Grant Ave. Auburn.
The Adopt-a-Shoreline training session will help interested citizens learn to identify, monitor and control invasive aquatic weeds on local lakes.
Invasive weeds are devastating to local bodies of water. Eurasian water milfoil, curly leaf pondweed and water chestnut are causing problems for boaters and fishermen, they reduce waterfront property values, disrupt the growth of native plants and can interfere with fish reproduction.
Pre-Registration is not required, but would be appreciated. Call CCE at 255-1183 for more information.

“Light an LED for Owasco Lake”
"Light an LED for Owasco Lake"
Sponsored by the Owasco Watershed Lake Association (OWLA)
Please join with others around the Lake
by turning on an LED Light
Friday, July 3, 2009, at 9:30 PM
Please join us for "Ring of Lights" during our Independence Day Weekend Celebration.
The event builds on an Indian tradition that showed respect for the great gift of "Owasco Lake," and it also demonstrates our unity as a community.
We would like to update this tradition to be environmentally friendly and promote the use of LED lights rather than flares, which contain phosphorus and can cause harm to our water.
Owasco Lake is important to all of us, and this is a fun way to show it.
How can I get LED Lights? You can buy LED lights from local vendors, or Owasco Watershed Lake Association has found a USA distributor who sells LED lights at a reasonable price. We will be pleased to order your lights for you. All orders must be accompanied with your payment and all orders must be received by OWLA by June 20, 2009. You will be responsible for picking up your LED lights on Lake Day, Wednesday, July 1, at Emerson Park Pavilion.
Other environmentally friendly alternatives include using a string of LED holiday lights, nylon solar powered LED patio lanterns, or solar LED camping lanterns.
For more information or to share other environmentally friendly alternatives, please e-mail
