Reports and Documents
This Wilderness Waters Adaptive Management Plan began with a large-scale project funded by a Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (WDNR) Aquatic Invasive Species Control Grant that was awarded in 2010. The project was sponsored by the Presque Isle Town Lakes Committee (PITLC). White Water Associates, Inc., an independent ecological consulting firm, was a consultant to the PITLC. This plan was last updated in 2019. As the name implies, this plan is intended to be “adapted” as new information becomes available, new needs are identified, and some information becomes dated.
This aquatic plant management plan addresses North Crab Lake. Despite this specificity, it\r\nmaintains the waterscape perspective crucial to effective lake stewardship. This is especially\r\nimportant when it comes to preventing introduction and establishment of aquatic invasive species (AIS).
