The Sylvia Lake Board and Dave McGrath, in particular, should be commended for the idea and follow through in placing trash cans at the boat launch.

They're working! The area looks much better.

The Buoys...

Buoys were placed to mark the area where all four of the mats were placed to treat an aggressive milfoil growth.

All were placed in the shallow area to the left of Stacy's.

Boaters are asked to avoid entering the area as their props would cut and spread the weeds.

Alex Carpenter, Evan Kraker & Roger Miller muscle the mats into place.

Ferg's boat gets a cleaning.

Job well done...
