Hi, Friends of Lake Cochituate:

Please tell others -- interested in our lake or others -- about this important meeting!

7PM Thursday, March 23rd, 2006: The Cochituate State Park Advisory Committee (CSPAC), Protect Our Water Resources (POWR) and the Mass. 
Congress of Lakes and Ponds (COLAP) invite you to a public meeting in the Natick Kennedy Senior Center, 117 East Central St. (Rte. 135), one in a series regarding the Management of Invasive Aquatic Weeds in Lake Cochituate.
   Chris Knud-Hansen, a Ph.D. limnologist from Colorado, visits Lake Cochituate to present a non-chemical method for controlling aquatic-weed infestations of lakes. The SolarBee solar-powered up-flow water circulator has successfully removed Eurasian water milfoil and other problem growths from lakes. One preferred mode of operation permits up to 40-acre coverage by one device, without disturbing bottom sediments. 
Although this approach has worked well in other states and in the Province of Quebec since 1997, it has not yet been used in Massachusetts. Local and State officials and the public will learn about this application of these devices, and will ask the questions necessary to decide upon local action.
   More information on up-flow water circulators is online at:
