VIP surveyors on Lake Memphremagog in 2016

This 3-hour VIP workshop will include classroom and hands-on identification training, and a half hour break for lunch.

You will need your own non-motorized vessel, PFD and paddle for the site visit unless other arrangements are made with Ann Bove. The site visit will be weather permitting.

Interested workshop participants are encouraged to join our statewide network of volunteers who survey for aquatic invasive species in their favorite lake or pond.

Ghosts and Legends of Lake ChamplainLake Champlain is located between New York’s majestic Adirondacks and Vermont’s famed Green Mountains. Yet despite the beauty of this region, it has been the site of dark and mysterious events; it is not surprising that some spirits linger in this otherwise tranquil place. Fort Ticonderoga saw some of early America’s bloodiest battles, and American, French and British ghosts still stand guard.
Champlain’s islands–Stave, Crab, Valcour and Garden–all host otherworldly inhabitants, and unidentified creatures and objects have made appearances on the water, in the sky and in the forests surrounding the lake.Buy Here
