Eurasian Watermilfoil

Watermilfoil3.jpg

Eurasian watermilfoil (EWM) is one of the most problematic invasive aquatic plants in North America. EWM out-competes native vegetation and degrades aquatic habitats by reducing biodiversity. EWM forms dense canopies of growth in the water, which can make boating and fishing impossible and degrade property values.

​

At the 2023 SLACAR AGM, Jim Miners (Chair of the EWM Working Group, DSLPOA) did a presentation on the management of Eurasian watermilfoil. He referred to a short video produced by the Drag and Spruce Lakes Property Owner's Association. To view the video, click below.
