The Church Pine, Round and Big Lake P&R District is applying for a permit from the Wisconsin DNR to treat about 25 acres on Big Lake and <1 acre on Round Lake with the aquatic herbicide Endothall to control the invasive plant curly leaf pondweed. This proposed treatment would occur between April 15 and June 1, 2012. The treatment is according to the Aquatic Plant Management Plan approved by the Wisconsin DNR.

Purple Loosestrife cages containing the Galerucella beetles. The beetles eat the leaves minimizing the amount of seeds plants produce. Roughly 10 beetles are added to each plant cage when the plants are 18" tall. When the 10 have multiplied to 100+, they are released into the wetlands. During this process, the PL plants are kept in shallow swimming pools and the water is rotated so that the mosquitoes have less chance to breed.
It was a perfect 4th of July day for a boat parade on our chain of lakes! While everyone was a 'winner' in the judge's eyes, we had over 30+ entries and 10 official winners from all three lakes.
A special note of thanks goes to the merchants who donated the prizes as well as to all the resident, friends and families who made it a fun and memorable event!
We also want to thank the Frank Winecki family on Church Pine Lake for judging the event. See you all next 4th! Bruce Balck (Uncle Sam)
