Crews will be on site this week to add more straw wattle to reduce the risk of bank erosion.

Buckthorn management is a multi-year commitment.

After a big removal effort this past winter, multiple areas along the shoreline have new buckthorn plants resprouting and crews have been on site to target these resprouts with herbicide.

A crew will be on site to do some planned minor erosion repair and site stabilization this week.

The site was chemically treated this week to control weeds.

There's a little bit left to do to get the site cleaned up - it should be done on Monday.

Then there will be a pause in work as we wait for the spring flush of vegetation. Weed control will occur through the growing season, and in the fall the site will be ready for seeding.
