GRESHAM LAKES ASSOCIATION, INC.: Gresham Lakes AIS Control and Prevention Project

Gresham Lakes Association, Inc. is sponsoring an AIS ACEI grant on Gresham Lakes in Vilas County. This four year project will focus on EWM management, and AIS education, prevention and monitoring. The goal is to reduce the treatable EWM to less than 8 acres and have a density rating below D=1. This will allow the Gresham Lakes Association to continue management of AIS with minimal state financial assistance.

Project activities include: 1) Annual chemical treatments of EWM; 2) Volunteer hand removal of isolated EWM plants; 3) Annual Pre and Post treatment monitoring and analysis; 4) Annual volunteer AIS monitoring; 5) Recruit volunteers and implement a CB/CW program; 6) Entry of inspection forms 3200-120 and monitoring forms onto Dept website; 7) Develop annual project report and a final report.
