“Habitat for Humanity volunteers are helping to keep the wood from an old barn in Skaneateles out of local landfills.

“The Tri-County Skaneateles Lake Milfoil Project is well underway trying to rid the pristine lake of the last 10 or so acres of the invasive species.
Under the auspices of the Tri-County Skaneateles Lake Association, divers hit the water for the first time this year on May 18 and once again began pulling the weeds that plant themselves in the bottom of the lake. Divers swim to the bottom of the lake and pull the plants, then send them up to the surface and the boat through a suction device.”
