Moodus Reservoir Lake Harvester Program
Moodus Reservoir Lake Harvester Program
The
life cycle of Connecticut Lakes over future centuries is to evolve into
swamps and bogs. Moodus Reservoir is in that cycle with increasing
encroachment by native and
invasive aquatic plants. The Moodus Reservoir Preservation Group
(MRPG), a 501c(3) non profit charity, is dedicated to preserving the
lake for continuing enjoyment of our the town beach, fishing and
boating.
Several
studies by the Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station (CAES) have
kept track of the growth it these plants. Numerous methods of control
have been studied
by MRPG and, with town and environmental group support, MRPG conducted a
herbicide pilot study. Based on independent evaluation of the pilot
study, herbicide treatment is not an effective control method for
further treatment. “Raking” methods presently in
use by private contractors and individual property owners can result in
plant fragments escaping and re-rooting in other parts of the lake,
increasing the problem.
The
most affordable and effective control method is “harvesting”, via a
machine that pulls up the aquatic plants, trapping them and depositing
them on land. An affordable
and environmental enhancing method of disposal is available. The
harvester machine will cost approximately sixty thousand dollars
($60,000). A volunteer is already available to operate the harvester.
Raising the funds will require support of the community
as well as outside grants and special events. This will improve the
lake for use by all and extend its life for future generations.
The 2017 Annual Meeting will be held on Sunday, August 6, 10 AM
at the Moodus Sportsmen‘s Club, East Haddam/Colchester Tnpk.
Future plans and fund raising will be
discussed. Greg Bugbee of the CAES will review past studies. All East
Haddam residents are welcome to attend. New members may join and current
members may pay $25 annual dues anytime via our website, as well as at
the meeting. All dues and donations are tax
deductible.

Annual Shad Bake ~ on Sunday, June 11th, 2017
PLEASE NOTE This is an earlier date than in past years!
WHAT TIME DOES IT START? Festivities begin at noon . . . although the tickets say "serving until 2 p.m." we'll be there until the food is gone.
TELL US ABOUT WHAT WE ARE HAVING TO EAT. Planked and filleted (that's right, we have already taken care of the bones) shad dinners are a prized culinary treat. The technique - believed to have originated with native tribes - is where shad is nailed to large boards and baked in front of a pit of hot coals, and it is a long held New England tradition.
But there will be plenty of other great things including chowder, venison chili, a variety of cold salads, chicken, hot dogs, watermelon and more. You won't be going away hungry.
Food allergies? Let us know before we serve you.
WHAT ELSE? Stay and play horseshoes, meet up with old friends; get acquainted with new folks in town; enjoy the atmosphere and the view.
Advance tickets: Adults $20; over 65 $15; under 5 - $6
Day of event: Adults $25; over 65 $20; under 5 $8 ~ a bargain at the price!
PARKING: Handicapped parking is available by the pavilion. Come early to park. Come early because parking can get hectic. Please follow instructions from the parking lot team! Trucks park down by the target range and fish pond. Overflow parking is at the town beach, as well as along the Old East Haddam-Colchester Turnpike east of the club
