STOP THE SPREAD - A Conference on Aquatic Invasive Species in Northwest Wisconsin.


"The spread of aquatic invasive species is literally costing the taxpayers millions of dollars in degradation of plant, wildlife and fish species, impairment of natural habitat and the lowering of property values on both waterways and on land." That's a mouthful, but environmental experts say now is the time to be proactive about Eurasian Millfoil and other invasive species. They've organized a workshop in April to educate anyone who will invest the time to listen.

Attend this workshop to learn how you can help stop the spread of aquatic invasive species and protect your favorite lake and stream. Natural Resources Educator John Haack says "As the list of lakes infested by invasive species continues to grow so do the economic and ecological costs. According to the Director of Wisconsin's Center for Limnology, Steve Carpenter. invasive species are one of the top three threats to Wisconsin's Lakes."

For more information, please call the Northern Great Lakes Visitor Center's UW-Extension office at (715) 685-2672.
