Good Afternoon All,

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED TO HELP MONITOR ONEIDA COUNTY RIVERS AND STREAMS FOR AQUATIC INVASIVE SPECIES

Volunteers are needed to help the Oneida County AIS Team search for invasive species in rivers and streams during the 3rd Annual Bridge Snapshot Day, to be held on Saturday September 10th, 2016 from 9:00am – 1:00pm.   Volunteers can choose one of four monitoring areas, which are Minocqua, Three Lakes, Rhinelander, and the Pelican Lake areas.  Depending on where volunteers wish to monitor, volunteers will meet at a centralized location to receive training, directions, and monitoring supplies and then head into the field to look for invasive species. All training will be provided by the Oneida County AIS team and snacks, beverages, tote bag and boot brush will be provided. 

This one day event, hosted by the River Alliance of Wisconsin, is a fun opportunity for you to search for undetected invasive species in and/or around rivers, streams, including trout streams, creeks, thoroughfares, bridge crossings, and culverts.  At some sites, friendly waters will beg you to wade in to get a better look, while at other sites you can simply look from the safety of the shore with binoculars and rakes.  If you have questions, please contact Stephanie Boismenue, AIS Coordinator at 715-369-7835.

Volunteer registration began August 1st and ends September 3rd. To register, please visit the River Alliance website: www.wisconsinrivers.org/events/display/item/snapshot-day-5
