On June 18, WDNR Lake Biologist Scott Van Egeren and Picnic Island Project Contractor Nile Merton of Chequamegon Environmental presented an energizing summary of shoreland practices and the science behind the most effective lake protection methods.

Click here for a copy of the presentation which gives you practical ideas on how to manage your property while protecting the lake.  

Education Committee Vice Chair Mary Keating is coordinating the "Picnic Island Restoration Project" which is a living tutorial on ways you can manage your shoreland.  A call to action for volunteers to work on Picnic Island is underway.  Volunteering for this project is a win-win: you help restore the island while learning tips on how to improve your own shoreland.

Thank you Mary and the Education Committee for your energizing work to teach us how to protect Spider Lake.
