Reports and Documents
Green Lake was searched one day in 2010 and five days in 2011 for the presence of non-native aquatic invasive macrophyte species and none were found. The lake appeared to be in a healthy, natural state. However, several invasive terrestrial and wetland plant species such as Japanese knotweed, reed canary grass and Canada thistle were noted.
