This session is part of a series of public information sessions and water surveys held by the CWC (funded by the Chautauqua Lake & Watershed Management Alliance) throughout the summer.

Those interested can also participate in aquatic surveys to locate and remove invasive plants.

Registration can be done by calling 716-664-2166 or by emailing info@chautauquawatershed.org. Those participating in water training sessions must bring their own kayak or canoe and life her jacket.
