Stop the Spread
Milfoil Control Program


Steer Clear!! Initiative

The Lake Fairlee Association is placing “Milfoil” buoys in areas where milfoil is heavily concentrated. Please avoid these areas to help prevent milfoil spread on the lake.

Best Practices for Boaters and Property Owners
 
1. Remove as much milfoil as possible and avoid fragmentation, which causes spread. Let it dry out on land and dispose of it with yard waste.
2. Don't drive through milfoil patches with your boat, which will create fragments.
3. If you have milfoil on your prop, don't just reverse and drive away, please remove it from the lake.
4. Remove milfoil growing in your dock or swimming area by pulling it out by the roots with care to avoid creating fragments.
5. If you see milfoil floating anywhere in the lake, near your dock, or along your shoreline, please remove it.
6. Obey boating regulations by traveling at no-wake, 5 MPH speeds within 200 feet of the shoreline.
 
Keep in mind that native aquatic plants are VERY important and necessary to sustain a healthy lake ecology. Please remove milfoil plants only.
