Release of Wild Celery
8/29/2022
This time of year, Wild Celery will release from the bottom of the lake to repopulate to different areas of the lake. If you look, some of the plants still have their roots attached. They always end up on the wind driven side of the lake. As a side note, DLSD has not had our harvesters cutting on the main lake in the past two weeks. All they have been doing is skimming the weed mats off the top of the water.
