In-depth guided tour on Thursday 15 August at 6.30pm | Fight against invasive species: the Great Lagarosiphon, the latest arrival (free event)
As part of our exhibition on sublacustrine forests, the ASL invites you to discover one of the new threats to the meadows of Lake Geneva: the Great Lagarosiphon. This invasive plant, which originated in Africa, is a direct competitor to Lake Geneva plants and risks disrupting the lake ecosystem.
During a guided tour of the exhibition, Diane Maitre, biologist specialising in the flora and fauna of Lake Genevaworking for the Office cantonal de l'eau (GE), will be sharing her expertise. She will present the challenges posed by this invasive plant, its impact on the Lake Geneva ecosystem and the methods used to limit its spread.
