The word "harvest" usually means that we are taking the fruit, seeds or other parts of plants that will provide food or in some other way enrich our lives. We also harvest pondweed from Brittain Lake on ¾¨Ó㴫ý's campus, not as a direct food but as a way to control overgrowth of an invasive plant, the Eurasian milfoil. This pondweed is native to Europe, Asia and northern Africa. It was introduced to the U.S. in the 1940s although the source of the original introduction is unclear. Now Eurasian milfoil occurs in nearly every state in the U.S. In the past it was sometimes sold as an aquarium plant by pet stores. Milfoil is a flowering plant. It sends tiny clusters of flowers above the water level for pollination. And this isn't the only species to make Brittain Lake look shaggy. There are other aquatic flowering plants and filamentous algae to contend with.
