What are those at MBL?

For those of you visiting MBL over the next few weeks you might see some orange sacks around the edges of the lake. These are filled with barley straw to hopefully prevent algae blooms as the weather warms up as these can be harmful to the lake especially as we head towards the time when fish start spawning and they are more susceptible to water quality issues.

Please do not remove them from the lake. If they seem to be getting in the way please let us know. Do feel free to pull them back towards the bank or stick them under the platforms if they get blown out of position (or moved by the geese).

Many thanks to the Thursday work party.
