Return to Search

Purpose

The Vilas County Land & Water Conservation Department is sponsoring a project to educate Vilas County lake residents and users regarding aquatic exotics. The project will result in: the training of 50-75 Vilas County residents on identification and monitoring of exotics, monitoring and mapping of 5 main exotic species in Vilas County, an expanded database on those 5 key species including a GIS data layer, a Vilas County Invasive Aquatic Species Assessment Report including management options for specific infestations. Project results will be used to update the Vilas County Land and Water Resources Management Plan. The project will also result in audio and videotape public service announcements for a media campaign and invasive species packets at 9 local libraries. All final products will be provided to the Department in electronic (pdf) and hard copy format.
