🌱 Three Village Daily: Invasive Weed At SB Harbor + March Lion

Hello, people of Three Village! It's me again, Debora Whitehead, your host of the Three Village Daily.

First, today's weather:

Mostly sunny. High: 57, low: 43.

Here are the top 5 stories today in Three Village:

1. Head of the Harbor Mayor Douglas Dahlgard is creating a plan of action to weed Stony Brook Harbor. Phragmites australis is a fast-growing reed producing dense stands around Stony Brook Harbor. "This is an invasive species which has taken over the viewshed, which is an asset of the village," Dahlgard said. "People come to look at the water, take photos, and we want to restore that, it’s valuable." (Newsday/Subscription Required)
2. Emma Clark Memorial Library invites all entrepreneurs to participate in the Social Media for Business program.
