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.
lowering rush grows prolifically and converts diverse native plant communities into non-native monocultures. This in turn results in the promotion of sediment deposition, a decrease in open water fish spawning habitat, and a decrease in abundance and diversity of native plant species which provide habitat for native fauna. Flowering rush also interferes with boating, swimming, fishing, and other recreational opportunities along rivers, marinas, and lake shores.
