Volunteers are vital to 30 Mile’s work and each year so many invest their time and effort to help us fulfill our mission. Within each program, volunteers play a critical role protecting our lakes. This month, we’re highlighting the 96 Invasive Plant Patrol (IPP) volunteers and eight lake association teams took part in the important effort to survey our lakes and ponds for invasive species in order to identify invasive aquatic infestations early.
