Protecting lakes is as vital as buying land

From the Vilas County News Review HERE

...If a lake or river is choked to death by invasive weeds, is it just boat owners who suffer the consequences? Doesn’t the loss of a state-owned resource, held in trust for all residents, affect everyone to some extent?

...If you don’t believe that, look at Monona, Mendota and Pewaukee lakes in southern Wisconsin, where the milfoil infestations are out of control.

...Thank God we’ve got real conservationists in Vilas and Oneida counties who have made it their mission to protect our lakes, because left up to the DNR, the effort would fail horribly.
