Watershed Connections: Forest Lake’s Flowering Rush Battle
April 28 @ 5:30 pm - 7:30 pm
Event Flyer
Open Meeting Notice
The CLFLWD has been actively managing Flowering Rush on Forest Lake since 2014. The Forest Lake population is currently the only known population to have viable seeds in Minnesota. As such, the District has adopted a management approach that utilizes both herbicide treatments and seed head clippings. This approach has proven to be very effective, as the population has been reduced by 99% since 2014.
Steve McComas is owner of Blue Water Science in St. Paul, Minnesota. He has been working on lakes and streams for over 40 years and specializes in lake management and lake restoration projects. Over the last 25 years, McComas has developed a unique niche advising lake associations, city governments and other relevant agencies on lake and pond-management issues.
This FREE workshop will be held at the Forest Lake Senior Community Center (767 4th St SW, Forest Lake, MN 55025) starting at 5:30 p.m. The workshop includes an hour presentation, a box supper, and time for open discussion after the presentation.
Please RSVP before Friday, April 25th for this workshop, so we have an accurate headcount for food and seating. To register, please contact the CLFLWD at 651-395-5850 or by email.
