🍂The seasons are turning at Caddo Lake. As the light changes, so does the lake: cooler mornings, shifting bird activity, & cypress trees getting ready for their fall color. It's one of the best times of year to get out on the water.

It's World Water Monitoring Day! One of the quietest but most important things we do at CLI is track water quality across the basin: reading gauges, checking for pollutants, watching how flow levels change over time. #WorldWaterMonitoringDay #CaddoLake #WaterQuality

Some of the smallest creatures at Caddo Lake are doing some of the biggest work. We have partnered w/ @Caddobiocontrolalliance who are using natural predators to combat this invasive plant - The Salvinia Weevil, a tiny insect doing a very big job 🌿.

Did you know? Nothing in the law requires Caddo Lake to keep getting the water it needs. Those flow guardrails are voluntary — and we've spent three decades keeping them in place! #CaddoLake #WaterScience #WetlandConservation

If your Labor Day plans include Caddo Lake, enjoy the cypress and the quiet — it's here because of decades of work to keep this water flowing naturally! #LaborDay #CaddoLake #CypressSwamp #GetOutside
