PUBLIC NOTICE
This spring Pokegama Lake Association will conduct chemical treatment of invasive curlyleaf pondweed in areas where a DNR survey indicates the presence of this invasive species in sufficient density to need treatment. This treatment involves application of the DNR-approved Schooner aquatic herbicide.
