This workshop will focus on identification and management of common aquatic weedsand algae found in ponds and other water bodies in Chatham County and the central NC piedmont. Pond owners and managers will learn what options are available to have a healthy pond without invasive weed species.
This workshop will not cover construction and other issues related to building a pondor managing a pond for fish, but will focus solely on aquatic weeds and their control measures, including the use of herbicides, physical removal, grass carp, and measures to prevent aquatic weed infestations.
