Educational Outreach: Lakes District Clean-up: Ms. Williams shared photos. This was one of the largest groups of volunteers participating. It was supported by the Lakes District and the Community Development department. She supported the group by giving guidelines for the drainage basins to be cleaned. The areas included were in Queens Mirror and Triplet Chain drainage basins throughout the streets in the Lakes District. The volunteers picked up garbage that filled one truck full of debris. This event was very successful. She has been working with Community Development to plan a clean-up for the Garden District. This includes the "flower" streets. We have a new Lakes Management Guide which has been mailed to the lakes residents. It was updated with the fertilizer ordinance, current contact list of which biologists are to be contacted for specific needs, and permits required in the City. A question was asked regarding the invasive apple snails update. Ms. Williams shared that she has a Rollins College student that would like to do this for a research project. She has been in contact with the student's professor and is waiting on a confirmation. She was not able to locate any snails when she last visited Lake Triplet. They should not be laying eggs this time of the year, but if any one sees any bright, pink eggs on plant materials, sea walls, dock posts, or anywhere that they can get a few inches above the water to lay their eggs, please take notice. Do not pick them up with your hands and do not crush them. They need to be removed and placed in the trash. They can also be destroyed by painting them with oil. If the student does not participate, a formal approach will be made with the residents.

Seminole County is modifying this program to incorporate other invasive species. We will utilize the same area we have in the past, to now focus on a plant called, Caesar weed. This is the plant that usually sticks to your pants and they have little seeds that have to be pulled off any type of 5
