Invasive Species of the Month: Curly-leaf Pondweed

Curly-leaf pondweed is an invasive aquatic weed that is widespread across Nebraska. Curly-leaf pondweed begins growing before other plants and even starts growing underneath ice during the winter! Once established, curly-leaf pondweed grows too densely to be used as habitat by native species and restricts boating and angling access. It can be identified by its wavy, lasagna-like leaves.
