Echo Lake’s Access Greeter Program is the first line of defense against the introduction of aquatic invasive species to Echo Lake. Boats are inspected for plant material, and education is provided by our paid greeters and several volunteer greeters. Between our paid greeters and those residents who volunteer their time to cover the access we log over 1000 hours of access coverage every summer. We thank those who step up to take time to safeguard the lake for their dedication and commitment to keeping a close and protective eye on the lake from the introduction of invasive aquatic species, which is a goal that must continue in the years ahead. If you would like to help out with the Access Greeter Program, please contact any member of the ELPA board for more information.
