I spent Friday helping Friends of Van Cortlandt Park and volunteers from Tibbetts Brook Park remove water chestnut from the lake in the park. Water chestnut grows fast and smothers everything else in the lake, including fish.
The project is expected to take several years, and this year's work is a pilot. It's a rather slow process, but you can see in these two photos that it's possible to make a dent in the problem.
