CED VIG NATURE SERIES
AQUATIC INVASIVE SPECIES IN ONEIDA COUNTY
*Open to the Public
Membership is not required. This event is in partnership with Learning in Retirement and Nicolet College, Arts & Enrichment
Wednesday, October 1
10 am
Nicolet College, Northwoods Center 207-209
Instructor: Stephanie Boismenue
Hybrid: In-person and Zoom
Oneida County has 1,129 lakes covering 68,447 acres, and over 830 miles of streams. These water resources are a large part of our lifestyle, as well as our economy, and are threatened by the potential impact of aquatic invasive species. The introduction of a single AIS can negatively impact native habitats, ecosystems, fisheries, wildlife, recreational opportunities, waterfront property values, water-related business and industries, human health, and how we enjoy our time on the water.
Guided by Stephanie Boismenue, we will learn the extent and distribution of invasive species here in Oneida County as well as the programs the County sponsors through the Land and Water Conservation Department to help prevent and control the spread of aquatic invasives. These programs, plus actions by individuals like ourselves may even decrease the population density of some AIS and restore balance to ecosystems.
Stephanie is the Aquatic Invasive Species Coordinator and Conservation Technician for Oneida County. She is actively involved with monitoring and controlling AIS as well as outreach and educational programs in this field.
