In July, Lewes has been cutting phragmites on public land. Phragmites are an invasive reed grass in wetlands. On Thursday, the city will receive a presentation by Delaware State Forester Kyle Hoyd. Hoyd is expected to provide options on eliminating the spread of phragmites.

Lewes officials say that the phragmites cannot be controlled just by mowing grass or burning it. On Thursday, Mayor Andrew Williams and the City Council are scheduled to hear an update from Delaware State Forester Kyle Hoyd about options in eliminating the reed grass.
