Volunteers are needed to survey small lakes for new populations of aquatic noxious weeds . Detecting these weeds early allows us to stop them before they get entrenched.
Free training to learn:
The Lake Weed Watcher Program trains volunteers to survey for aquatic weeds in small lakes in King County, Washington. Volunteers are trained to identify both native and non-native aquatic plants. The goal of the project is to watch for populations of invasive weeds that are not currently known to occur in King County or that have a very limited distribution, but have the potential to spread and cause damage. Detecting these weeds early allows us to stop them before they get too entrenched to remove.
