Winter Cutting Begins in November (2015)

Applied Ecological Services, contractor for the MPRB Loring Pond Vegetation Management project, will begin cutting cattails at Loring Pond in November. Weather permitting, cattail cutting will continue into the winter months. The cut cattail leaves and stems will be hauled from the site and composted.

Cutting cattails on the North Bay floating mat, which comprises most of the North Bay, will be done when ice on the lake is thick enough to support weight. The purpose of the fall/winter 2015-2016 cattail cutting is to remove dead debris to facilitate future vegetation work in the lake.
