Boismenue says the are in need of volunteers. Volunteers can choose one of four monitoring areas, which are Minocqua, Three Lakes, Rhinelander, and the Pelican Lake areas...
"....this is to identify invasives not previously known in those areas. That will help us with any monitoring activities we need to pursue from that point on....."
