Thank you to all the volunteers who participated in the water chestnut pull at Coes Reservoir on Saturday! Water chestnut is an invasive aquatic plant species and can quickly take over a waterbody if it is not removed. By pulling the weeds, volunteers protected lake health and water quality for all. Many thanks to the Tatnuck Brook Watershed Association for their support of the event.
