Invasives - Nelson Lake Association

What do I do?

If you find a suspicious plant please do the following:

1) Mark the spot with a marker or record the GPS location.

2) Call any of the Board members and give them the information. They have instructions on what to do next.

So what can we do?

By following these four simple steps each time you leave the water, you can stop aquatic hitchhikers.
