Iron County Lakes and Rivers Alliance, Inc., will present
Sandy Wickman, Outreach Specialist with UW Extension Lakes, to speak at their
next meeting on Saturday, July 22nd at 9:00 AM at the Mercer
Community Center. Sandy’s topic will be citizen lake testing, including how the
data collected in the last 32 years has been used and how citizens can access
that data to check the health of their lakes. She will provide information on
the type of data collected, such as water clarity, invasive species, chemistry,
etc. and how citizens can get involved in the process. She will be able to pull
up information on specific Iron County lakes from the DNR website. Ms. Wickman
has worked in this capacity for 20 years.
Following the presentation and a question-answer session,
ICLRA will hold their annual business meeting. Members and other interested
lake and river enthusiasts are invited to stay and learn what ICLRA does.
Membership dues must be paid before the start of the business meeting in order
for attendees to vote on officers and other issues. Election of President and
Secretary will be held.
