The Quiet Lakes were awarded grants by the WDNR to monitor our boat ramps to protect against the introduction of invasive species into our lakes. We will hire monitors for the Lost Land Landing Camp, Teal River Dam, Teal Lake Larson Road and the Ghost Lake ramps; and expect this to encompass the following:
- Approximately 12 - 15 hours each weekend from Friday afternoon through mid-day Sunday between Memorial Day and Labor Day
- The monitors will examine incoming and outgoing boats for invasive species, help educate the ramp users on invasives, etc.
- We expect activity at the ramps to be hectic at times, and then hours of no activity. Thus, a college student would be the ideal candidate as they could study during the down times
We will conduct training in May for the monitors selected. Our Environmental Director, Rex Clevenger, will begin interviewing for these roles in April. Thus, if you know of dependable candidates, please respond directly to the Quiet Lakes at
quiet_lakes@yahoo.com.
