SCLF Gets DNR Grant for Aquatic Invasive Species Signs
In January the Sawyer County Lakes Forum applied to the Department of Natural Resources for an Aquatic Invasive Species grant and we are pleased to report that our application was approved. The cost share grant ( 75% DNR/25% SCLF ) is for a project to buy 10 permanent signs that can be installed at boat ramps, along roadsides, at boat dealers, etc. The signs are 2 x 5 feet and carry the message “Stop Aquatic Hitchhikers” - see the picture below of one installed. Also, 3 portable “sandwich board” signs will be purchased and made available to lake associations and other groups.
The signs and all materials needed for installation will be made available free of charge to any group or individual who is willing to install them in an appropriate location. The group or individual will have to obtain and pay for any necessary sign permit - $25.
The signs will be on display at our spring meeting May 10 at the Comfort Suites 9:00AM. Also, we are working with the Sawyer County Aquatic Invasive Species Coordinator, Kristy Maki, on the project. If you are interested in obtaining one of the signs contact Kristy at 634 - 6463 or send an e-mail to her at the address given below:
