WATER QUALITY & BIOLOGICAL DIVERSITY
FRWA staff and volunteers, along with volunteers from JAX and KNOX Hartford, removed more than 1,300 pounds of water chestnut from Barber Pond over five pulling events in the summer of 2024. Water chestnut seed corms were counted and measured throughout the season to determine efficacy of herbicidal treatments on seed production, and to inform future management schedules. A total of 239 plants were collected and monitored throughout the season, and 1,327 developing corms were counted and measured.
