Congratulations! The goal of raising $250,000 for the five year Lake Wissota Stewardship Project has been surpassed! As of 3/1/18 we have raised $256,595 in cash and pledges. The response from lake owners, local governments, civic groups and businesses has been unbelievable. We are continuing to raise funds to help pay for projects in the watershed not funded by grant money and other resources. Thank You!
The LWSP implementation team is looking for people to help with stream monitoring in the paint creek and yellow river watershed. Watch for details in the LWIPA spring newsletter. We’re also looking for volunteers to conduct an end of dock survey throughout this summer. The details are yet to be worked out.
Several LWIPA board members and Caleb Meyer, the LWSP manager, attended the Red Cedar Watershed Conference at UW Stout last Thursday. It’s a great annual event to learn about what’s going on in the way of water quality management in our watersheds.
We will be attending the annual Wisconsin Lakes Partnership Convention in Stevens Point on April 18-20. You can find more information online about this convention.
I’ve been thinking about another potluck get together this spring. Is there anyone interested in helping to organize it?
Please join us for the next LWIPA board meeting Wednesday, the 14th, 6:30 at the Lafayette town hall.
