June 8, 2022 is “Water Wednesday” of New York State’s Invasive Species Awareness Week! From 2:00pm – 5:00pm, join the Adirondack Park Invasive Plant Program and Adirondack Watershed Institute for a family-friendly interactive afternoon at Lake Flower in Saranac Lake, NY. This event is for those curious about aquatic invasive species and anyone gearing up to spend a summer on the water. Drop by the Lake Flower Boat Launch in Saranac Lake to play games, learn hands-on identification of aquatic invasive plants of the Adirondacks, and get information on steps you can take to prevent the spread of aquatic invasive species to protect your favorite waterways. Please come prepared to spend the afternoon outdoors with a hat, sunscreen, sunglasses, and drinking water. There are public restrooms at the boat launch.

Following the event, join the Adirondack Park Invasive Plant Program and the Adirondack Watershed Institute for a showing of “Uninvited: The Spread of Invasive Species” at Hotel Saranac at 6:30.
