Crow Wing County will host an aquatic invasive species education session for the public at 3 p.m. Wednesday, July 21, at Nisswa Lake Park, immediately following the turtle races.
Aquatic invasive species are non-native plants or animals that live primarily in water and invade areas outside of their natural, historic range and can cause environmental damage by displacing native species, disrupting or changing habitat; and degrading water quality in streams, rivers and lakes.
County officials encourage those who are interested in seeing these species in person and learning valuable tools to prevent these invaders to participate in the education session.
