Courtesy Boat Inspectors
Courtesy Boat Inspectors (CBI's) help ensure that our lake stays clear of milfoil and other invasive plants. There are posted at several boat launches in the Raymond Watershed, including Mill St. on Panther Pond. Panther Pond is surrounded by lakes that contain milfoil, and "luckily," Panther is still milfoil-free. The CBI works hard to keep invasive plants from entering our lake. CBIs are both paid and volunteers.
We are seeking CBIs for a paid shift on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday from 6 a.m. to 1 p.m. If you would like to volunteer for a briefer stint - days, a day, or a few hours, training and equipment will be provided.
Panther Pond Invasive Plant Patrollers (Ppippers)
Bunny Wescott and Sibyl French lead the Panther Pond invasive plant inspector program. These two dedicated women will go out and teach you everything you need to know about invasive plants and convince you that you are having fun. You can get your very own sector to inspect.
