This 2-hour interactive workshop is intended as a forum for homeowners who live in communities that have stormwater ponds, to exchange ideas on best management practices. There will be several short presentations by citizens who have conducted best management practices in their own communities’ lakes and ponds. Most presentations will be in short video format with the presenter answering questions at the end. Topics of interest that will be covered are: plecos control, erosion control, littoral planting, pond assessments, exotic fish capturing, and more. The workshop will also be attended by resource managers, biologists and lake management companies who will be there to help answer questions and provide some expertise in the subjects discussed.
