This forum will be attended by the local DNR fisheries biologist and MSU Extension, and the cover three board topics: shoreline management, land use practices, aquatic plant (weed) management. The intended purpose is to educate lakefront property owners of the best management practices to maintain a healthy lake for generations to come. This is also an opportunity for you to ask the different agencies questions and voice any concerns you might have. This forum will also be coupled with 1 to 2 lake visits to show examples of different plants and management practices. Please use the link below to take a short survey to help us better understand the needs of our community. |
