Non-native Invasive Plant Removal
On August 10, a five-person EcoForesters restoration crew demonstrated invasive plant control at several locations, including Lake Wanteska Dam, the Equestrian Trail/Dog Park, Ogana Trail, and the Golf Course/Clubhouse area. The crew used targeted methods, including foliar herbicide and cut-stem treatment, while training CF Natural Resource Stewardship Committee (NRSC) members to identify and treat invasive plants.
In total, the crew treated 5.67 acres. EcoForesters noted that Connestee Falls is relatively free of large-scale infestations and that regular maintenance will help protect our forested Common Natural Areas.
