UPCOMING MEETINGS and EVENTS OF INTEREST:
- Students interested in attending a conservation camp this summer should check out The Sand Lake Conservation Camp in Crivitz (for 6th – 8th graders), or the Youth Conservation Camp at Trees for Tomorrow in Eagle River (for high school students). Both camps are staffed with professional conservationists and offer the opportunity for hands-on conservation education.
NOTICES and REMINDERS:
- Farmers spreading manure are encouraged to check Wisconsin’s Online Runoff Risk Advisory Forecast before spreading. The site provides updated risk assessment for spreading manure. If your site shows RED, don’t spread.
- Visit DNR’s manure spill, response, planning, and prevention page for information on reporting manure spills. All manure spills or runoff that may affect Wisconsin waters must be reported.
