**Volunteers Wanted**
On July 14-17 (dates subject to change based on water conditions but will get advance notice) the Upper and Lower Buckatabon Lakes District have contracted APM to perform DASH (Diver Assisted Suction Harvesting) work on Lower.
Kayakers are needed to net small fragments that break away from the DASH divers in the targeted areas. This effort improves the effectiveness as fragments will reseed. Small nests can be provided.
Meeting times and location to be announced.
Interested Persons Please email: ULBuckatabonSupervisor@gmail.com or

Citizens Lake Monitor Network Training
Citizens Lake Monitor Network Training
We have a few volunteers who already work with Water Clarity and Quality Tests, but would love to have a full-blown team to assist these efforts! [Thank you! Gary Croisatiere, Dan Benson, and Art Ekberg, if I forgot anyone else- my sincere apologies!!]
The Citizen Lake Monitoring Network is offering a training on June 20th to train people to check water clarity, measure dissolved oxygen & temperature profiles, take water samples to determine total phosphorus & chlorophyll concentrations, and monitor for invasive species. Sounds like some super mad-scientist stuff! Not really, but it is important to the health of our lakes and its future. Cathy Higley is our contact for this training at 715-479-3738 or cahigl@vilascountywi.gov
