On September 23rd, Eugene Braig of Ohio State University Extension will talk to new and existing pondowners at our annual Fall Pond Clinic. Eugene will discuss pond management strategies as they relate to aquatic vegetation, but will also address other questions as they come up in discussion. The Pond Clinic is free to attend and will be held inside the Buehner Center at Oak Openings Preserve Metropark in Whitehouse. The clinic will start at 5:00 PM. Pre-registration is appreciated and can be done online at: www.LucasSWCD.org/pond-clinic. A short walk around Mallard Lake will follow the presentation (weather permitting).
The Lucas SWCD will host a Make & Take Rain Barrel Workshop on October 2nd as a part of Ohio Stormwater Awareness Week! The workshop will begin at 4:30 PM and will be held at our office in Toledo.
