The Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks (MDWFP) and the Mississippi State Extension Service are hosting a pond management workshop in Rankin County. The workshop will be held at the Rankin County Extension Office located at 601 Marquette Road in Brandon, Mississippi on Thursday evening, October 19th starting at 6:00 p.m. An hour-long presentation will include topics on pond design, fish stocking, harvest, vegetation control, liming, and fertilization. A question-and-answer period will follow. Those interested in attending the workshop are asked to register by calling the Rankin County Extension Office at (601) 825-1462.
“This workshop gives private pond owners and biologists an opportunity to discuss management options for their ponds” says MDWFP fisheries biologist Buford Lessley. “We talk to people each year that want to manage their ponds effectively, and this is a great way for us to provide information that can help pond owners achieve their goals.”
