Feeling Sick? Report it Quick!
Summer sees a rise in food and water sicknesses. Make sure you’re adventuring into water and handling food safely and be aware of the symptoms of food and water illnesses. These illnesses are believed to be under-reported since many infected people get better without having to see a doctor. To help with this issue, Wisconsin Department of Health Services provides an online tool to easily report a food and water sickness that takes less than five minutes to complete, which can be found at this link: sr.wi.gov/ #/form/p/foodborne
So, if you’re feeling sick, make sure to report it quick!

Taking a DNR recreation safety class is a great way to start the summer with confidence! ATV/UTV operators at least 12 years old and born on or after Jan. 1, 1988, are required to complete a state DNR-approved safety education course, and to carry proof of certification while riding on public trails, routes and some private lands.

We had a great time at the Monroe County Dairy Breakfast ! Our team shared important education on tick prevention and handed out over 400 tick kits, plus fun stickers and activity sheets for kids. Our Tick Education Wheel was a big hit with people of all ages stopping by to test their tick knowledge! Thanks to everyone who visited our booth and to the volunteers who make the event a success every year!
