"This year has been a big year in the fight against Eurasian watermilfoil (EWM). We have hypothesized that the lack of ice cover over the winter allowed EWM to grow more than normal over the winter and early spring, giving us more to work with than anticipated this summer. While we are confident that we have the knowledge and methods to control this invasive plant, it requires vast resources and effort. We are incredibly grateful for the support of the community that we have seen so far, but the fight is not over."

“My experience over three decades with the Leelanau Conservancy and as lake biologist with the LLLA has taught me that long term protection of water resources requires a long term commitment to constant monitoring and threat assessment . The "Friends" stand behind the LLLA and its staff and volunteers, providing funds to preserve Lake Leelanau for our children and grandchildren.” - Brian Price
We are so lucky to have your commitment and dedication, Brian!

Have you washed your boat before launching it into the Lake for the weekend? Leland now has boat cleaning stations at many of our boat launches to prevent invasive water species from spreading. It’s a simple step for long term prevention. It takes awareness to keep our lake free from invasive water species so spread the word! Send us a DM if you need more information 🛶
