U of M fisheries professor Ray Newman has been conducting milfoil research at Cedar Lake since 1992, and it is his group that has been responsible for the floating cages in the lake.

Throughout Minneapolis, milfoil in the lakes, buckthorn in the woodlands, leafy spurge in the prairies, burdock and garlic mustard along the edges, purple loosestrife in wetlands are some of the invasive exotic plants that are contributing to the degradation of native areas. MPRB horticulturist Mary Lehrman has a passion for native landscape restoration, as does MPRB Director of Environmental Operations Jeff Lee. They need all the help they can get. There are many volunteers who are contributing to a community-wide effort to control exotics and plant native species. I agree that I have never seen the "goo" in the lakes as abundant as this summer.
