Lake weed watcher training
June 25, 2018 @ 6:30 pm - 8:30 pm
Why
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.
What
Free training to learn:
- How to identify aquatic weeds and native plants
- How to do a lake survey and submit data
- How fun it is to be a Lake Weed Watcher!
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.
This event will take place at the Lodge at Beaver Lake, not SHADOW! See map below.
