Invasive Informational Presentation, July 20, 2024
The Sokokis Lake Association and YCAISP (York County Aquatic Invasive Species Project) hosted an informational presentation at the brick Town Hall on Saturday, to learn about native aquatic plants and the invasive Brittle Water Nymph that has been found at the lake, how to identify invasive aquatic plants, the threats they present, where they come from and how to protect against them. The program included a slide presentation along with hands-on aquatic plant samples.
All 3 Limerick Lakes were represented; we now have the resources of PALZ, Patrollers of Arrowhead’s Littoral Zone, to assist us with surveys. It’s important that we get teams in place (Sokokis and Pickerel) to assist with surveys, lake knowledge, and maintain LSM and DEP contacts. Multiple lakes working together greatly improves the chances for early detection and more expedient resolution.
If you have any questions or would like additional information, plant markers, Quick Keys, etc., please contact Diane Shepherd at Sokokislakeassoc@yahoo.com
