Be a Harvey's Lake VIP: Vermont Invasive Patroller!

Vermont Invasive Patrollers is the new name for the State of Vermont Dept. of Environmental Conservation invasive species watchers program (formerly known as "ANS Watchers" or "Milfoil Watchers"). Early detection is vital to protecting Harvey's Lake from harmful invasive plants and animals. Monitoring our lake for invasive species is fun! As a VIP, you'll learn about native aquatic plants and animals and their habitats, as well as potentially harmful invasive species. Not to mention, you'll have a great excuse to get out regularly and enjoy every nook and cranny of Harvey's Lake all summer long. If you are interested please contact Leslie Matthews at
802-241-3798 or email to leslie.matthews@state.vt.us.

What it takes to be a VIP:

» Participate in at least one basic VIP traing workshop

» Sign a Statement of Commitment promising to document survey results in accordance with    standardized procedures and report them to Vermont DEC

» Conduct and submit at least two surveys during the summer for the presence of invasive plants or    animals in your lake or pond

Prevention is the only cure. Join Us to keep Lake Harvey pure.
