Clearing Lake Ola Of Water Hyacinth
Work began Tuesday to clear Lake Ola of the water hyacinth a pest that could cover the lake. The plant was introduced seven years ago by Dr. Lust who admired its beauty. The Tangerine Improvement Society organized the effort with 14 to 15 men aiding the start. Efforts have also targeted the Apopka Canal where hyacinth threatens navigation. The piece urges constant monitoring of waterways to prevent rapid spread and notes the Wekiwa river in central Florida is choked, hindering boat passage.
