From the organizers:

We have a great line up of speakers.  Maureen Galway-Perotti, a Master Gardener from the Putnam County Cornell Cooperative, will speak about shoreline buffers.  Steve Di Lonardo of Aquatic Ecosystems Consulting will share his insights on nuisance algae.  Kevin Fitzpatrick, the Director of Engineering from the East of Hudson Watershed Corporation, will talk about stormwater management and how that can protect your lake. One speaker from the past, Ken Belfer, will revisit to give a brief overview of the DEC pilot project at Mohegan Lake.  And we will be treated to a display of aquatic plants and a talk on aquatic plant control by AJ Reyes of Northeast Aquatic Research.  You will also have time for networking with other lake enthusiasts.
