Communities Plant Trees

and mitigate Emerald Ash Borer impacts. The funding has been made available through two FY2018 U.S. Forest Service Great Lakes Restoration Initiative (GLRI) grants received by the Bay-Lake RPC.
Eligible applicants include Wisconsin cities, villages, towns, counties, and tribal governments in the Great Lakes Basin. Approximately $120,000 will be available in this 2019 grant round to fund projects ranging in cost from $1,000 to $20,000.

Kewaunee County Invasive Species
Project Update
|
|
|
 The Bay-Lake RPC has collected inventory data on the locations of invasive Phragmites, Japanese knotweed, and Wild parsnip in Kewaunee County through a roadway inventory, and input received through the
Kewaunee County Invasive Species online app
.
A public informational meeting on the project was held in Luxemburg on May 23, 2018. A
request for qualifications
was released at the end of June to assist in the hiring of a contractor to treat the target invasives in the county. Treatments will take place in late August through September this year, and again in 2019. A permit request has been submitted to the DNR for the herbicide treatments.
Landowner permission forms
have been mailed to owners of parcels where a target invasive species has been found. Additionally, a permission form has been mailed to all riverfront landowners as the rivers will be a primary target area for invasives management.
