HYDRILLA VOLUNTEER WORKSHOPS SET

The Cayuga Lake Watershed Network and the Hydrilla Task Force will host 2 workshops for those interested in assisting with volunteer monitoring for hydrilla on Cayuga Lake this year.  Once trained, teams and individuals will be invited to participate in Floating Classroom monitoring cruises and will be able to borrow equipment to conduct their own surveys.  You only need to attend one workshop!

Merrill Family Sailing Center, 1000 E. Shore Drive, Ithaca (both days)

Contact steward@cayugalake.org to register.  GET TRAINED!!

LOW WATER DELAYS CRUISE SEASON

Each winter, Cayuga's water level is lowered 4 feet in anticipation of spring runoff.  With no snow and very little rain this spring, the Lake remains over two feet below normal.  Until the water comes up, the MV Haendel cannot access docks at the south end of Cayuga. 

We hope to open our cruise season Sunday, May 6, at Ithaca's Water Week celebration.  Ithaca Farmers Market.  1-hour cruises at 11:00 and 12:30, and a 2-hour eco-cruise at 2:00pm.  See you there!
