Weed Harvesting: Starts Friday, August 8thProgressive and Savin recommend restarting weed harvesting due to: Nuisance native weeds clogging boat lanes, especially bad this July Milfoil is under control, so cutting won’t spread it EGLE restrictions limit chemical treatments in boat lanes Harvesting removes weeds, reducing phosphorus from decomposition
Background: Last harvesting was in 2018, but it was a regular practice for years. Current conditions justify resuming. Vendor: Oakland Harvesters chosen for quality equipment and tracking tech. Harvesting is a slow progress. Estimate is about a week, but duration may vary. Shoreline Cleanup ReminderThe harvester collects most weeds, but some will drift. Waterfront owners must collect weeds from their shore, dry them, and bag them for curbside pickup.
Safety Note: Stay clear of the harvester, especially in boat lanes.
See below weed harvesting map. Visit the Announcements on PLPOA website for updates and status. Elaine Coffman, Vice President
