The Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service in Williamson County will present the online lunchtime learning program “Pond Management” from noon-1 p.m. March 17.
“This will be a great interactive online seminar to help with your ponds,” said Gary Pastushok, AgriLife Extension agent for agriculture and natural resources, Williamson County. “There will be lots of useful information on how to manage and maintain a thriving aquatic environment in your pond.”
The cost is $15, and the guest speaker will be Brittany Chesser, AgriLife Extension aquatic vegetation program specialist, Bryan-College Station.
The program will address:
— Early season management of pond weeds and algae.
— Water quality basics.
— Best practices to avoid expensive problems and support pond health.
Pastushok said after registering, participants will be able to send digital images of their pond issues and/or weeds for identification and assessment during the live session.
“Those submitting images will also be provided with recommended solutions,” he said.
