Aquatic Invasive Species Prevention Open Houses
The Minnesota DNR and Minnesota Waters invite all interested citizens to attend an Aquatic Invasive Species (AIS) Prevention Open House. A series of five AIS Prevention Open Houses will be held throughout Minnesota during January. The Open Houses will provide information on statewide AIS prevention strategies and resources available for citizen-leaders working on AIS at the local level. In addition, the DNR will be seeking input and comments on AIS prevention efforts.
Each Open House will include informational tables on AIS:
• regulations and enforcement;
• watercraft inspections and public education;
• local and regional resources for AIS prevention; and
• identification and general AIS information.
DNR staff will also provide a 20-minute presentation on AIS prevention strategies. This presentation will be given at 6:15 pm and again at 7:15 pm.
The closest Open House to Saint Cloud will be at the Willmar Community Center on January 28, 6:00 to 8:00 PM.
No registration is necessary to attend. With questions, please contact Molly Zins at mollyz@minnesotawaters.org. Or go to the Minnesota Waters website http://minnesotawaters.org/
