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.

Help Protect Colorado's Waters!

Invasive species damage Colorado's lands and waters, hurt the economy, ruin recreational opportunities, result in a loss of property values and threaten public health. They consume enormous amounts of water reducing the supply for livestock, wildlife, and humans. They impede water distribution systems for municipal, industrial, and agricultural supplies. They can damage boats, gear and fishing equipment, and impair all forms of water based recreation. They displace wildlife habitat and reduce forage, shelter and range for big game and other native species.

Vigilance can stop Invasive Species from doing more damage!
