Aquatic Plant Survey

Aquatic Plant Survey

When we started the Evasive Species Program it was very clear that the Eurasian Watermilfoil was taking over the lake.  It was found almost everywhere in the lake.

After one year the results can be easily seen when boating, swimming & fishing on the lake.  Below are a maps from the survey that have been conducted.  It is also clear from the maps it’s effectiveness on the Eurasian Watermilfoil
