Reports and Documents

The Wilderness Waters Adaptive Management Plan (Presque Isle Township, Vilas County, Wisconsin)

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.
