Loring Park Cattail Control Project Underway (2015)

Posted on 28 August, 2015

During the week of August 10, cattails in the lake were cut below the water level and the debris hauled off site. The cutting was done by contractors in boats and in the water using brush saws, loppers and hand pruners.

The native plants in this area were not cut down. Most notably, large patches of sweet flag on the north end of the south pond remain intact.

Work in this area is not complete and will continue through September. (No work was permitted during the week of August 17 in preparation for the Cultivate Festival.)
