Many have noticed the new fencing that went up last week around the Taylor Creek and Tallac Creek marsh in South Lake Tahoe. These fences along the beach and marsh were installed around a project area where crews are working to remove aquatic invasive plants.

Last fall crews began the vegetation removal from the marsh in preparation for the laying of bottom barriers this spring. The fencing is intended to protect the large tarps that are being staked to the marsh bottom as part of a project to remove Eurasian watermilfoil from the marsh ecosystem.
