ULERCLC AND ERCLA CONTINUE EFFORTS TO ERADICATE INVASIVE SPECIES ON EAGLE RIVER CHAIN

FOR THE ANTIGO TIMES

The Unified Lower Eagle River Chain of Lakes Commission (ULERCLC), with support of the Eagle River Chain of Lakes Association (ERCLA), has hired DASH (Diver Assisted Suction Harvesting) Aquatic Services, LLC., to hand-pull the aquatic invasive species Eurasian Water Milfoil (EWM).

Efforts began on June 14, 2021.  The diver hand-pulls the EWM at its roots and immediately suctions the plants onto the boat in to garbage bags to prevent plant remnants and seeds from spreading.

Specific areas have been strategically designated this year for hand-pulling, and include Cranberry Lake, Catfish Lake and Yellow Birch Lake (picture attached).  Hand-pulling has allowed ULERCLC and ERCLA to maintain a manageable population of EWM from year to year.

To learn more about DASH, view the ERCLA interview with Alan Pahnke, Owner of DASH, as he worked with ERCLA and the Wisconsin DNR to remove AIS from Scattering Rice Lake.
