What I learned new from The CPIA Benthic Barrier Work Shop. You can help stop the spread of milfoil by clipping off the flower before it goes to seed. But you need to make sure you bag the flower and dispose of it away from the pond!

Awesome Benthic Barriers Workshop!
Last Saturday Jim Chandler who has been a pioneer of benthic barrier design conducted a very interesting/informative workshop here at Collins Pond!
Jim has been recognized for his outstanding contributions to environmental education as a National Project Learning Tree Outstanding Educator, Maine Science Teacher of the Year and a winner of the Maine Environmental Education Association Lifetime Achievement Award. We were very fortunate to have him conduct a workshop for us.
Everyone who attended had the opportunity to create and take home a 5’x5′ clam shell or a 10’x10′ mat for use in front of their waterfront area. For those who could not attend we still have some supplies left to create more mats and Margaret is willing to help you build your own. Please contact Margaret Cardoza at mmcardoza@gmail.com if interested.
