Save Lake Chatuge UPDATE

Save Lake Chatuge and Mountain True Triumphs Over Parrot Feather Invasive Species! 🎉🌿

Save Lake Chatuge is thrilled to announce a triumphant victory in our battle against the invasive Parrot Feather (Myriophyllum aquaticum) species this season! 🎉 Thanks to our dedicated treatment efforts though Aqua Services, we've successfully reduced the spread of this devesting aquatic plant in Lake Chatuge!

Our carefully orchestrated plan, which combined targeted herbicide applications with vigilant monitoring, has paid off in spectacular fashion. 🌟 The dense, mat-like growth of Parrot Feather that once threatened the lake’s ecosystem, local biodiversity, and recreational enjoyment has been significantly curtailed—restoring balance to our treasured waters. 🌊✨

This achievement is a major milestone in our mission to preserve the health and beauty of Lake Chatuge. We owe a heartfelt THANK YOU to:

·       Our incredible team

·       All of our Passionate Individual Donors

·       Local Businesses Donors

·       Government Agencies:

  Towns County Government & Commissioner Cliff Bradshaw

City of Hiawassee

Hiawassee Downtown Development Authority

GA General Assembly & DNR

·       Community Partners at Mountain True

Their collective hard work, collaboration, and commitment have made this success possible! 🙌💙

Our treatment efforts were meticulously planned to protect non-target species while effectively combating the invasive threat. 🌍 We will continue to monitor the lake closely and follow up with future treatments to ensure Parrot Feather remains at bay, safeguarding the lake for generations to come.

As we celebrate this remarkable success, we extend our deepest gratitude to everyone who has supported our conservation efforts, including local residents, environmental organizations, and government agencies. Together, we've made a huge leap forward in protecting Lake Chatuge, and we look forward to continuing this vital work. 🌿🌊💚

Let’s keep the momentum going! Stay informed, get involved, and join us in protecting the lake we all love.
