LAKE ALICE ASSOCIATION, INC: Lake Alice Stewardship Program: Phase 3 People, Plants, Animals & Habitats

Purpose

Lake Alice Association is sponsoring phased large scale lake planning grants to study Lake Alice, in Lincoln County. The project will focus on developing and updating an Adaptive Lake Management Plan (LMP) for Lake Alice. Phase 3 was funded in this grant cycle and Phases 4-5 will be submitted for funding starting in 2013. Project activities for Phase 3 include: 1) Educational program \2013 meetings and educational events with lake association and Tomahawk High School students, written educational materials, news releases, and website updates; 2) Inventory rare vertebrate species; 3) Specific Conductance and Local Pollution Sources; 4) Status of Wild Rice; 5) Volunteer frog and toad survey; 6) Volunteer-based anglers\2019 Journal; 7) Lake User Survey; 8) Image-based Waterfront Archive; 9) Quantitative Assessment of Littoral and Riparian areas. Project deliverables include: 1) Educational materials and news releases; 2) Frog and Toad monitoring report; 3) Fish monitoring report; 4) Summary report of littoral and riparian areas; 5) Revised LMP; 6) Updated APM Plan. Specific conditions for this project: LMP needs Department review and approval.

Reports and Documents
The Lake Alice Stewardship Program is an ongoing endeavor composed of periodic phases that progress toward the overall vision of the Lake Alice Association – a healthy, sustainable Lake Alice. In Phase 1, participants learned about the lake and the landscape. In Phase 2, a principal task involved conducting an aquatic plant survey and creating an aquatic plant management plan. Phase 2 tasks also included frog and toad surveys and a volunteer angler journal. In Phase 3, we included people, plants, animals, and habitats in the investigation. In the Phase 3 products (including this Adaptive Management Plan and the Aquatic Plant Management Plan), we also report on activities conducted under two Early Detection Rapid Response Grants that were awarded the Lake Alice Association (one for Eurasian water-milfoil and one for curly-leaf pondweed). Success of future phases depends on a coalition of participants, each carrying out appropriate tasks and communicating needs and findings to other team members. It is appropriate that the Lake Alice Association (LAA) is the lead organization in this long-range endeavor.
