Cleveland Museum of Natural History staff begin removing flowering rush, an invasive plant species, from ~860 acres of marsh at Mentor Lagoons Nature Preserve and and Mentor Marsh State Nature Preserve located on the southern shore of Lake Erie, Mentor, OH, August 21, 2020.
“As a great biology teacher of mine once said, ‘If it ain’t normal, if ain’t natural, it probably ain’t good!’ Invasive species like the flowering rush have done a lot of damage to invaluable ecological resources like Mentor Marsh. So we’re proud to partner with the Cleveland Museum of Natural History in the fight against this weed,” said LTC Eli Adams, USACE Buffalo District Commander. “Thanks to the help of the museum, and the continued support of our elected officials, the Corps of Engineers is delivering engineering solutions today that protect and sustain our environment AND provide ecological and economic benefits across the Great Lakes.”
