Aquatic plants are vital components of lake ecosystems. This workshop focuses on learning the role of these organisms in lake ecology, how to recognize native and invasive aquatic plants, and ​ways citizens can help survey Pocono lakes for invasive species.

This workshop includes hands-on aquatic plant sampling, field identification, and training in the PLEON Citizen Science Aquatic Plant Survey protocols.
