Reporting a Milfoil Bed
If you discover a milfoil bed, please report it by calling 518/532-4454, where you can leave a message, or emailing Terry Lynch. Please include as much information as possible, including:
- Your name and telephone number, in case we have questions.
- Location of the bed. If you have access to a GPS, please include the bed's longitude and latitude (to 5 decimal places.) Otherwise, describe the location as best you can. Approximate size, in: x' by y', or a circle of about y' in diameter, or however you can best describe the area.
- Bed density, characterized as thick, moderate, or sparse.
- Number of feet from the surface. The distance (in feet) the plants tops are from the surface of the water. Report the worst case, not an average. For example, if one plant reaches the surface, rate the bed as reaches the surface.
Our team will record the information, and if it is a previously unknown bed, investigate it. They may call you for more information.
