Aquatic Invasives 101: What's in our Waters?

Land to Lake Lectures. Aquatic invasive species are present in several lakes within the Cannon River Watershed. Participants will learn about the common aquatic invasive species found locally, how to identify them, and why they pose a threat to lakes and rivers. Practical steps to prevent the spread of invasive species and help protect local waters will also be discussed.

The free webinar will be held on Tuesday, February 10, at 12:00 pm over the lunch hour.
