Using a broadfork pulled by the tractor to remove large sections of invasive pond plant.
The invasive plant is Brazilian Egeria, it is similar to hydrilla in its growth and damage.
It is commonly sold in pond supply stores, but is NOT advised for a natural setting where it could be washed down into the river system in heavy rains.
