The Ohio Department of Natural Resources is stepping up communication efforts about the vegetation infestation at Indian Lake.
Following the visit from Governor Mike DeWine earlier this week, the ODNR says that residents, business owners, and visitors can find updated information on their website. It will let people know about the ongoing efforts to combat the unprecedented aquatic vegetation growth that has impacted boating around the lake.
“So, we want to share as much information as we can, and we also have a place where we take ideas,” says Dir. Mertz. “You can either do that on the website or you can call me. You can call, we have a park manager here. We have a district manager and I want to emphasize that we take every idea seriously. That doesn’t mean that we can carry out every idea, or sit down with a scientist, we work through it. There's a lot of issues here, but we want to hear from you as well. A lot of people have shared their thoughts and ideas and we're working our way through them.”
People will also be able to see updated plans, photos and videos, and operational reports of vegetation removal posted on the Indian Lake Aquatic Vegetation Management tab of ODNR's website and on the Indian Lake State Park Facebook page.
