  • Aquatic Invasive Species Training with the Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station

    East Haddam Municipal Complex 1 Plains Road, Moodus, CT, United States

    The Eightmile and Salmon River Watersheds are hosting an aquatic invasive species training for community stakeholders. The intent of this training is to educate people who frequent or manage our lakes, ponds, rivers and coves to help reduce spread and increase early detection. “CAES scientists will offer instruction on how to distinguish invasive from native plants, conduct lake surveys and map vegetation. Live native and non-native plants will be available for close inspection, and identification aides will be provided. In addition, information about the prevention of invasive aquatic plant introductions will be discussed.”
