We need your help.  The Town is looking for someone to take over as AIS Committee Chair for the next grant cycle.  Tha AIS Committee Chair position document on the lower right side of this page lists current and future tasks.  The may not be all inclusive, and it may be that some of these tasks could be delegated to other committee members; that would be up for discussion. It is believed that the position would consist of an average of 10 hours a month from March 15 to October 31st.

In addition, volunteers are needed to make up the local match in DNR grants by assisting with the projects. We need volunteers for AIS Committee, CBCW (clean boats/clean water) project, beetle rearing project, mechanical harvesting, and monitoring your shorelines to remove weeds.

If you are interested in learning more about Aquatic Invasive Species in our area lakes, and would like to Volunteer as a BAISS Deckhand, or a Clean Boats Clean Waters monitor, or assist with weed disposal, please contact the Volunteer Coordinators at townofbarnesais@gmail.com.
