The first Oneida County Clean Boats-Clean Waters workshop is Wednesday afternoon to help volunteers working boat landings this year some preparation.
Volunteers go to boat landings to work with boaters about not spreading aquatic invasive species from lake to lake.
Oneida County AIS coordinator Michele Sadauskas says with the fishing opener this weekend, it's a good time to update volunteers...
"....we have a lot of lake groups that have volunteers and paid staff that hit the landings that will interact with boats and remind them to make sure you clean your boat, drain your boat, so you're not moving any species from lake to lake...."
Sadauskas says volunteers will be especially present on weekends and holidays.
The meeting is from 4 to 7 p.m. at the Oneida county courthouse in Rhinelander. Sadauskas says a number of speakers will highlight the evening and the public is welcome. More information is at the county Land and Water Conservation office.
