Targeted spraying scheduled soon to prevent invasive species from establishing
A project to fortify and upgrade eroded sections of the northern and eastern shoreline of Lake Nokomis was completed in 2020. Now routine maintenance is scheduled to begin soon to help with establish these newly planted areas.
In the next few weeks some cool-season spraying will be done to target invasive vegetation like Reed Canary Grass. All spraying will follow Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board Pest Management Guidelines. In late Spring, additional spot spraying and mowing is planned to keep invasive species in check. Additional maintenance practices will be employed in 2021 to help develop these new native areas.
