2024 EARLY SEASON VEGETATION SURVEY
Please reach us at downeydavidm@gmail.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.
Attached is our narrative from the early-season vegetation survey on Joslin Lake.
Our survey occurred this Wednesday (7 days post treatment) and we observed a great level of treatment efficacy with very minimal nuisance conditions.
Eurasian watermilfoil hybrid was noted causing nuisance conditions in AROS 4, 6, 7, 32, 34, 38, 42, 50, 53, 223, & 224, but the areas appeared to be heavily impacted by herbicides and would likely be expected to rapidly drop from the water column. We will use the findings of our survey to continue to advise lake management strategies in 2024.
Please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or concerns!
