Notes:
We've been very careful to the effects of weed treatments - and the program has been very successful.
2009 & 2010 Survey Findings
2009 weed survey was our 4th comprehensive assessment
Fanwort covered just 6% of the Pond vs. 50% in 2004 (before our only whole-lake treatment)
Total plant cover down by half from 2004 (34% vs. 79% in 04)
Pond has richer variety of native submersed and floating plants (23 species vs. 11 in 04)
Fanwort is returning, but remains far below pre-treatment densities in most parts of the Pond
