Complete
Grant Awarded
Bayfield County in partnership with ABDI Land & Water Conservation, Sigurd Olson Environmental Institute, and Bony Lake property owners will implement a lake restoration project. More than 50% of the property owners (resulting in over a mile of linear shoreline) expressed a commitment to shoreline restoration, and additional lake protection activities, such as storm water best management practices (e.g. rain gardens), littoral habitat restoration (e.g. tree drops), and shoreline restorations exceeding minimum county and state standards will be strongly encouraged. Multiple partners will collaborate with the following: technical assistance; restoration cost-share assistance; promotion and education; recognition activities; and enrollment payments. The project also includes collecting pre- and post-restoration monitoring data for baseline and future comparison. These data may include bird, amphibian, terrestrial and aquatic plant community information, and a top/bottom paleoecological sediment core. Project leaders will continually promote media coverage and demonstration opportunities for the surrounding community.
