Containment Approach
At the 2015 annual meeting, the Clearwater Lake Association Board presented a comparison of plans for invasive species management. Optimal treatments require a lot of money and our goal was to be as aggressive as we could afford. An invasive species fund was started and a more was asked of our members. Thanks to all of you, we have been able to raise enough money to make a difference. So thank you all.
Bay Lake has been fighting Milfoil for 20+ years. We wanted to learn form their hard work, so our milfoil volunteers talked to their milfoil volunteers. Bay Lake follows a containment strategy with two targeted treatments per year. Since milfoil is almost impossible to eradicate from a lake once it is infected, we adopted the same plan. Our treatment strategy is prioritized containment, and expanded treatment when funds are available. Maps of InfectionTreatments Signatures
