Milfoil Prevention Project

Diane Anderson is a native of Barton who lives on Echo Lake and enjoys her role as a wife, mother and grandmother of four wonderful grandchildren. She has been interested in the milfoil project for several years, and was enthusiastic about joining the inspection team when the funding was approved.

She enjoys traveling with her husband Arv who has lived on Echo Lake for forty years.

Hi my name is Ryan Hryckiewicz. I'm 21 years old and have been living in Morgan for the past several years. I am attending Lyndon State College part-time and am also constantly traveling. I helped with the Milfoil Prevention Program in it's first year, but my competitive snowboarding has taken me quite a long ways away the last couple of years for summer training. After spending the bulk of last summer in South America, I have decided to take a break this year. Althought I am only a substitute milfoil inspector, you can expect to see me on the lake quite a bit throughout the summer season. If I'm not examining boats, chances are you will find me at the access tossing the tennis ball for my dogs!

My name is Cheryl Hryckiewicz. I am the initial milfoil inspector at Echo Lake. I took a leave of abscense due to a serious health issue, which is know taken care of. I am very glad to be back on board. I live between both Echo and Seymour Lake, two of the most beautiful and clean lakes in all of Vt. I want to strive to keep our lakes the cleanest in Vermont and also educate people on how they also are a big part of this process. My major in college at the University of Vermont was recreation management, therefore I feel I am very knowledgeable on what it is we need to do to move forward with this project and keep Echo one of the nicest lakes in all of Vermont.
