Water Chestnut Pull at Wantagh Mill Pond
Each summer NYSDEC staff, Nassau County Public Works, LIISMA, and volunteers work to remove invasive water chestnut from Long Island lakes and ponds. Last year, over 100 bags of water chestnut (approx. 3,000 lbs.) were removed from Wantagh Mill Pond, and Massapequa Reservoir.
Anyone is welcome to volunteer. You need to bring your own kayak or canoe, life jacket, bucket and gloves.
If you are interested in volunteering, you must pre-register, call (631) 444-0280 to sign up, or send an email with your name and contact information to fwfish1@dec.ny.gov.
