RKLD Will Receive $100k from DNR

Good news – the Lake Koshkonong/Mud Lake Wetland Restoration Project is set to receive matching funds from the Lake Protection Grants.  This award will become official when you receive the award letter in the mail, Brian.

Before that happens, we may need to discuss the carp gate element of the scope.  A previous protection grant (2003 I believe) funded installation of a carp gate at this location, but it was vandalized, if my memory serves.  What can be done to prevent the same thing from happening again? The water behind the gate must be accessible to the public, as you know, so I was wondering if a public meeting might help to inform lake users of how the gate works, to assure them it’s navigable, and to address concerns proactively.  What do you think?
