Our primary objective is it to treat for invasive aquatic weeds in Green Lake such as Eurasian Watermilfoil and Curly Pond Leaf. Under strict supervision of the DNR the GLA is permitted to treat designated areas. The treatments are conducted minding specific guidelines regarding the protection of native aquatic plants and the fish population. Maintaining a clean and safe Green Lake is our goal.

Happy Memorial Day weekend everyone.
This has been an odd start to the boating season. Everything locked down and terrible weather in April, making boating a challenge.
Although there has be restrictions with Social Distancing, Your GLA has been busy.
Gary Noren installed the Loon nest in the Lighthouse Bay. I believe there is one additional nest in Little Green Lake.
The GLA installed 2 new ADA compliant picnic tables at the Little Green Lake landing to compliment the ADA fishing pier.
Last week your GLA volunteers completed the Curly Leaf treatment in both lakes.
Jim Revel and Jason Houle will help install the Carp barrier next Tuesday at the culverts under Hwy 8
We hope to treat for Eurasian Milfoil in Mid-July. This will be the big treatment that takes most of the day and requires numerous volunteers for moving barrels of chemical.
In these times it is more important than ever to support our local businesses, especially the restaurants.
They are the fabric of our community.
Have a safe and enjoyable holiday weekend.

Our local Sheriff and Fire departments had to do a little fishing the other night. It is NEVER SAFE to drive through the channel between Green and Little Green (except in the summer). No injuries - Car recovered.
Curling on Green Lake yesterday. It was a beautiful day for a little friendly competition.
