Tracy Hames, Executive Director of WI Wetlands Association, will speak about the value wetlands provide to our lakes and watershed, and 14 Mile DNR advisor Scott Provost will share what our testing tells us to date, and some things we are doing to remediate the causes of Blue-Green Algae.  Dave Trudeau will cover the Healthy Lakes program and our success in obtaining grants to cover a portion of lakefront owners’ cost of shoreline improvements to help water quality.

Rome lakes area property owners and stakeholders within our watershed are invited to attend.  Please bring your lawn chair and plan to arrive by 9:30 to get your ticket for lunch and door prizes.
