WASHBURN COUNTY LWCD: Washburn County AIS Infestation Control Project, Purple Loostrife
Washburn County Land & Water Conservation will begin the first of a three-year Aquatic Invasive Species Coordinator position. The initial focus of the project will be on purple loosestrife. The project includes five objectives: 1) AIS education; 2) countywide inventory of existing purple loosestrife infestations; 3) GIS map with data points and details of infestation sites; 4) coordination and construction of multiple beetle rearing stations; and 5) purple loosestrife control strategy development. The final goal of the project is to create a limited-term AIS Coordinator position within the LWCD department that is proposed to be funded by future AIS grants.
