HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE
It is important to understand that it is highly unlikely that we will ever totally eradicate EWM from the lake. The best we can do is to minimize the spread and hope that the native plants will reestablish themselves which will help to minimize the growth of EWM. Our best defense against Invasives is to do a better job at the boat launches by monitoring and preventing the introduction of unwanted Invasives Once they are in the lake; it is too late and very expensive to try to eradicate and control. "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure"!!! Read more detail on past info here. In addition, the DPL intends to deliver an email on the subject to all registered DPL members, so please provide your contact information and the District will keep you informed. Register Now!
