In summer of 2020 we are near the half-way point of the drawdown of the Forestville Millpond. The drawdown is a temporary lowering of water levels by opening the sluice valve at the dam on the Ahnapee River. The purpose is to address shallow water depth, lack of abundance and diversity of native plants, a fish community dominated by carp and poor water quality within the Millpond.
