Meeting On Plans To Fight Milfoil

A Washington state grant will be used to fight milfoil, a weed that has infested some Stevens County lakes, and threatens parts of the Little Pend Oreille and Colville rivers.

A public meeting to provide information on the project will be held at 7 p.m. Thursday in Room 215 of the Stevens County Courthouse, Colville. People will be asked to explain how they use the lakes, and how milfoil affects that use.
