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.

-Drought Management (extreme drought is occurring that is drastically lowering water levels)
How to solve this problem:
-if it’s yellow keep it mellow
-take shorter showers
-save shower water and water your plants with it
-only run your dishwasher when necessary
-don’t wash your own car, go to a car wash
-if you are using a water bottle, drink the whole bottle and don’t waste the water
According to http://www.accuweather.com/en/weather-blogs/clark/historical-califorinia-droughtthe-amazing-stats/3245559, in 2011, the San Francisco area had 56% of it’s recommended amount of water for that time of year.
according to crediblewebsite.weebly.com, you left a bajillion tabs open and yourself logged in to your google account on STEM computer 5. Don’t worry though. I’m not evil, so I didn’t mess with anything. But next time be more careful.
