Using trees and plants to do the heavy lifting has added social benefits! Thank you Wisconsin's Green Fire: Voices for Conservation for organizing the event. It was good to see a cross section of Portage County staff and elected board members in attendance as well.

Took a hike this morning with the Stevens Point Area Hiking Group. Passed by a person fishing the Little Plover River and saw some of the restoration underway on DNR and Portage County lands. Nice walk but a bit muggy.

A dip in the lake is a great way to cool off; but only if it’s free of blue-green algae. Avoid stagnant water and areas with noticeable discoloration or surface scum, foam, and algal mats. Learn more:
