Invasive Aquatic Plant Identification Workshop
Toni Pied, from Friends of the Cobbossee Watershed will be holding a short Invasive Aquatic Plant Identification Workshop following the Lake Association meeting on July 23rd. The workshop is designed for people who are interested in learning about the characteristics of common invasive aquatic plants in our watershed and what to do if they see a plant that is suspicious. This workshop is also for people who would like a quick refresher on invasive aquatic plant ID. During the 1 1/2 hour hands on workshop, Toni will share samples of known invasive plants and native plant look-a-likes and will point out the characteristics of each. She will also talk about who to contact and what to do if any suspicious plants are found. We encourage anyone who has time to attend as Toni is a great teacher and brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to her workshops. We also know that people on the water know their shorelines best and are often the first ones to notice something that is different. This is the first line of defense to protect our ponds against Milfoil and other invasives that are appearing in nearby lakes and ponds. If you are interested in attending this short Invasive Aquatic Plant Identification Session, please send an email to susan.onion4@gmail.com to help us better plan for the number of attendees.
