Wondering if that large patch of aquatic plants in your lake is invasive Eurasian watermilfoil or curly-leaf pondweed or perhaps a native aquatic plant that occurs in healthy lakes? Or maybe you’re interested in learning more about your lake or river and the plants that are in it?

This guide provides an easy-to-use approach to identifying aquatic plants — including aquatic invasive species. Use the information found in this guide and the references listed within it to answer questions you have about aquatic plants or attend a University of Minnesota Extension Aquatic Plant Identification workshop for instruction on use of the guide and experience in identifying live aquatic plants. Visit the Extension Services web site for a workshop schedule.

A Guide for Identification of Minnesota Aquatic Plants, item #08242, will be available in November 2006. For information or to place an order, contact the University of Minnesota Extension Store.
