<title>Preview: Upper Saranac Cookbook</title>
<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/15830/20100617/preview-upper-saranac-cookbook</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Jun 17, 2010) Residents of Upper Saranac Lake are fighting an invasive water plant with a book about food.  Their new cookbook, with hundreds of recipes, comes with an environmental message. In 2004, lake residents began an intensive struggle against the destructive milfoil with an underwater dive program that harvests the invasive plant by hand.  It&apos;s an on-going challenge.  All the proceeds from The Upper Saranac Cookbook will be used to fight eurasian water milfoil on the lake.   Todd Moe spoke with lake association member Marsha Stanley about the new cookbook and the battle to control milfoil.

<title>For first time, Park Agency allows chemical herbicide in Adirondack lake</title>
<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/15221/20100212/for-first-time-park-agency-allows-chemical-herbicide-in-adirondack-lake</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Feb 12, 2010) For the first time ever, the Adirondack Park Agency will allow the use of a chemical herbicide to kill invasive water plants inside the blue line.  More than 1500 pounds of triclopyr will be used in Lake Luzerne in the spring, in an effort to fight Eurasian water milfoil. Yesterday’s precedent-setting decision comes as more lakes and ponds across the Adirondacks are struggling with the invasive weed. As Brian Mann reports, this outcome reflects a dramatic shift from the debate over fighting milfoil on Lake George.

<description><![CDATA[ (Jul 23, 2009) An invasive plant has been found thriving in Lake Placid.  Variable-leaf water milfoil now covers nearly half an acre of the Lake.  Hilary Smith is director of the Adirondack Park Invasive Plant Program. She says worries are growing over how this strain of milfoil could harm aquatic life. And she tells Jonathan Brown the invasive plant could spread quickly to other Adirondack Lakes.

<title>On an Adirondack Lake, a Private Crusade Against Watermilfoil</title>
<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/4622/20040809/on-an-adirondack-lake-a-private-crusade-against-watermilfoil</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Aug 9, 2004) This summer, more than a dozen scuba divers have fanned out across Upper Saranac Lake, in the Adirondacks.  They’re searching for underwater beds of an invasive plant called Eurasian watermilfoil.  Organizers of the project hope to prove that the weed can be contained before it chokes miles of shoreline.  As Brian Mann reports, the one-and-a-half-million dollar experiment is being funded entirely by private donors.

<description><![CDATA[ (Jun 13, 2002) The Lake George Park Commission is seeking permits from the state DEC and the APA to use the herbicide Sonar to get rid of Eurasian Milfoil in Lake Gorge.  But the Adk Council says the lake-choking weed is dying on it own.
