The City of Maple Valley and King County Lake Stewardship staff will host an aquatic plant workshop Wednesday evening on Aug. 27 at the Lake Wilderness Lodge.

Local experts will teach attendees basic aquatic plant identification, provide information about noxious weeds and discuss actions that can and cannot be taken on shorelines and swimming beaches. Attendees are asked to bring in samples from lakes to identify.

Speakers will also do some hands-on examination of many common and uncommon aquatic plants found in nearby lakes.

Organizers ask interested people RSVP to Diana at Maple Valley City Hall at 425-413-8800 or diana.pistoll@maplevalleywa.gov.
