Guardian Program Receives Grant


Being proactive about invasive weeds is paying off for Johnson Lake and members of the Johnson Lake Property Owners Association. Roy Hansen reports the Association will receive grant money for our Guardian Program boat ramp monitoring station. The only condition is that members volunteer time and effort to protect the lake.

Hi all;
 
I just received great news from Eric Lindberg that the grant for the Lake Monitoring has been approved.  My understanding is the grant is for $1600.00 for two years of monitoring provided we can show 70 hours of volunteer service.    This should be no problem as we all can do surveys for weeds as we take a cruise around the lake.  Eric said this should cover about half of the annual cost for the monitor!  If you have not heard the footing for the monitor is in at the landing and we will start it up May 1.  The High speed internet hookup will be at our house.  We were unable to find another location that already had high speed internet so I will have it installed here prior to May.
