The Stafford Lake "Find a Solution" Project addresses two environmental problems at Stafford Lake Park: invasive plant species that are displacing native plants, and a severe drought that is drastically lowering the water levels. The project proposes organizing service projects to remove invasive plants to preserve biodiversity. It also suggests water conservation practices like shorter showers, saving shower water for plants, and using car washes instead of washing cars at home to address the drought.

Stafford Lake Find a Solution Project


Stafford lake is a hilly 139-acre park with a fishing lake, a nature trail & picnic areas that can
host large groups.
-Invasive Plant Management (non-native plants are taking space from native plants)
How to solve this problem:
-organize service projects to reduce the amount of invasive species by remove
the plants from the ecosystem
More Details of Problem:
Ecologists are very concerned about invasive weeds that can rapidly take over a
landscape, displace native plants and, as a result, cause great declines in
biodiversity and habitat values. The preservation of natural resources is very
important, and if the spread of invasive weeds is not addressed, these resources
will be greatly impacted in a very negative way.
