Good afternoon,
I wanted to share with you a few AIS and natural resource
related articles, plus a fantastic opportunity for high school artists to enter
the DNR’s trout and salmon stamp contest:
Help Wetlands, Raise Beetles
The Oneida County AIS Program is always in need of
volunteers (individuals, school groups, and organizations) to help rear the
calla beetle as part of the state-wide purple loosestrife biocontrol program.
If you are curious about theses interesting little beetles and/or considering
becoming a volunteer, you can read about them in this article, “Help Wanted,
Raise Beetles” on the Live from the Lakes: A Wisconsin Lakes Blog
website. Let me know if you would like to become a volunteer for the program
and I will be happy to provide you with information, resources and help you get
set-up. Click on the link for read the full article. http://lakes-l.blogs.govdelivery.com/2017/03/help-wetlands-raise-beetles/
High school artists, angling enthusiasts sought for DNR
trout and salmon stamp contests
Do you know of a student in grades 9-12 who has a talent for
creating stunning trout and salmon works of art? If so, here is a chance of a
lifetime to have their masterpiece printed on the Wisconsin Department of
Natural Resources 2018 Wisconsin inland trout stamp or a Great Lakes salmon and
trout stamp. Wow, what an honor! These beautiful stamps must be purchased
by anglers (including myself) who wish to pursue trout and salmon on inland
waters or the Great Lakes and are purchased in addition to the state fishing
license. Better yet, revenue from the stamp sales is used for restoring and
maintaining habitat and in the case of the Great Lakes stamp, for stocking and
rearing trout and salmon.
Details about this incredible opportunity can be found here:
