LWCD shares five‑year work plan updates and convention takeaways on invasive species
Summary
The Land and Water Conservation Department presented minor updates to the five‑year LWRM work plan, including new lake classification changes; staff reported convention takeaways emphasizing Eurasian milfoil and workshop interest in hand‑harvesting.
LWCD staff presented an updated Land and Water Resource Management (LWRM) five‑year work plan to the CUW Committee, noting that the plan is reviewed periodically and includes minor updates such as a new lake classification and adjustments to priority watershed areas. The Committee received April budget actuals and invoices.
Staff who attended the Wisconsin Lakes & Rivers Convention reported that lake groups are increasingly concerned about Eurasian watermilfoil and the challenges of hand‑harvesting. Stephanie Boismenue described a “Collaboration Room” session and suggested the Committee consider hosting an invasive‑species and hand‑harvesting workshop at a future convention, and members discussed educational and outreach roles for the Committee.
