Experimental Floating Wetlands
With $7,000 from grants and donations the Kootenai Environmental Alliance is attempting to combat the weed problem in the lake with more plants.
This 210 square foot patch of artificial wetland consists of a floating mesh base which has been planted with mulch and native wetland vegetation. Ideally, the roots seeping through the bottom with absorb the nutrients from water preventing the growth of additional aquatic weeds.
High levels of phosphorous in Hayden Lake have caused an explosion of aquatic vegetation to the point where boats are unable to get and cloudy water.
