FOND DU LAC COUNTY: Fond du Lac County Long Lake Long Term AIS Control Project

The Fond du Lac County Land Water Conservation Department (LWCD) proposes to manage Eurasian water-milfoil (EWM) in Long Lake by implementing control and prevention measures during the period 2007-2009.

The project includes conducting pre-and post-treatment surveys and mapping the extent of EWM; controlling EWM with aquatic herbicide treatments; training volunteers to conduct post-treatment assessments and conducting those assessments to determine treatment efficacy; training volunteers to monitor for aquatic invasive species (AIS) and conducting those surveys; educating volunteers about AIS prevention measures through "Clean Boats Clean Water" (CBCW) program; and educating residents about AIS prevention measures through newsletters, mailing, signage, and/or meetings.
