What do organic farming, scuba diving, sunflowers and 42,000 gallons of freshwater plants have in common ?
A sad story in the Belgrade region that locals are determined to turn into a recycling success story.
Since the effort began to remove variable-leaf milfoil from Great Pond and Great Meadow Stream in 2010, the Belgrade Regional Conservation Alliance has faced off with the invasive plant problem with gusto.
And this summer it took the first step toward trying to eradicate the invasive plant while it turns mountains of milfoil into a composting science project.
"BRCA has taken out a large volume this year.
This level of commitment and the time put into this plant from one body ...
It's a very impressive project," said John McPhedran, the invasive aquatic plant coordinator with the Department of Environmental Protection.
