Invasive Species Reports

  • Eurasian Watermilfoil

    Eurasian watermilfoil is an invasive aquatic plant that forms dense mats on the water’s surface, disrupting recreation, crowding out native plants, and harming lake ecosystems. It spreads easily and is difficult to control once established.

  • Zebra Mussels

    Zebra mussels are small, invasive freshwater mussels that attach to hard surfaces in large numbers, clogging pipes, damaging boats, and disrupting ecosystems by outcompeting native species and filtering out nutrients from the water.

  • Yellow Iris

    Yellow iris is a non-native, invasive shoreline plant with bright yellow flowers. It spreads rapidly along lakeshores and wetlands, crowding out native vegetation, reducing habitat for wildlife, and potentially clogging waterways.
