Lake Stewards of Maine, a volunteer lake monitoring program, held the plant identification class at Silver Lake Campground in Roxbury. Roberta Hill, invasive species program director, and Drew Perlmutter, the education and outreach project manager for Lake Stewards of Maine, led the class of eager learners, some of whom would receive their Invasive Plant Patrol certification after participating in the class.
