Aquatic Nuisance Species (ANS) Alert

Eurasian watermilfoil is an invasive plant that can quickly spread and choke out the aquatic life in a pond. This plant has been found in Mallard Pond, and we need your help to prevent its spread!

It only takes a single piece of a milfoil plant to snag on your boots, get dropped into another pond, then grow and reproduce. Before you take watercraft or equipment into a pond, check it thoroughly for mud and plant particles that could introduce new unwanted species into our ponds.  Then, after you remove equipment from the water, check it again and clean off any plant debris to ensure you don’t carry anything to your next fishing location.

Be a Pain in the ANS!

If you use water, aquatic nuisance species (ANS) can affect you. For example, Zebra and quagga mussels clog up the infrastructure that delivers water to our homes. Keeping invasive species under control is a matter of public health.
