 2014 Exotic Milfiol Treatment a success

On Monday July 7th over 50 acres of the pond were treated with great success for Invasive Exotic milfoil.

 

Kingston Warrant Article Passes, Funding for 2014 treatment year secure.

As you can imagine, anytime town members gather to vote on budget items, there never seems to be enough funds to go around. In this fiscal climate many towns are cutting back on services.

However the people of Kingston have made their voices heard! With the appropriated funds, Kingston will be able to treat nearly 60 acres of Milfoil through DASH and Herbicide treatments.

Samples will be collected in May, June, and August and analyzed at the DES lab in Concord. Parameters such as turbidity, conductivity, total phosphorus, and total chlorophyll will be measured to add to the data on the pond.
