The invasives survey for the boat ramp end of lake has been completed; unfortunately, we found 2 European (brittle) naiads in the same cove as last year. One was near the original location, the other closer to the mouth of the cove. Both were removed cleanly. We found no other invasives.
A hands-on session is anticipated to be held on or about Aug. 18, with 15-minute presentations. These will run for a couple of hours, so folks can drop by, see what the naiad looks like, get information and pick up markers. More information to follow shortly.
