Stewardship
Invasive Non-Native Plants
Fragrant Water Lily and Eurasian Watermilfoil, both invasive in WA, spread aggressively, disrupt native ecosystems, and hinder recreational activities in water bodies.
Lake Stewardship
Protect lakes by maintaining septic systems, managing waterfowl, using good landscaping, controlling runoff, reducing fertilizers and pesticides, disposing of pet waste properly, and washing cars away from lakes.
Native Non-Invasive Plants
Native water lilies like spatterdock and watershield are beneficial and non-invasive. Spatterdock has yellow flowers and large leaves, while watershield has slimy undersides and purple flowers.
