About the Event

We will be kayaking to monitor an area in Vernon, VT/ Hinsdale, NH for the invasive water chestnut. No prior experience is required! We will train you how to identify the invasive plant, remove it, and clean your vessel before and after boating. Bring your kayak (with life preserver) and sunscreen and we will provide water and some snacks. Since the kayak will be held during pride month, feel free to join us in decorating our kayaks and wearing LGBTQ+ themed clothes! Don't own a kayak? Reach out to sullivan.wcnrcd@gmail.com to borrow one.

For even more fun these events are themed!

July = shark

August = pirate

September = Friday the 13th

What to bring
