Wisconsin residents are being invited to help out with Snapshot Day 2022.
We spoke with Jake Devine, the Invasive Species Coordinator for Glacierland RC&D, who explained what exactly this event is all about.
He called it a “statewide one-day event that connects volunteers of local groups in a search for aquatic invasive species.”
As far as what you will be doing, Devine explained, “Volunteers will learn how to monitor for, identify, and collect samples of invasive species that are threatening their local waterways.”
He also said that the findings from Snapshot day are used by many organizations to help them with their work.
Volunteers are invited to help out in both Manitowoc and Kewaunee Counties.
“Our sites are Lower Henry Schutte Park in Manitowoc and Seller Park in Kewaunee,” Devine explained. “If you are not from one of those counties, you can find another site all across the state.”
The event will run from 8:30 to 12:30 p.m. on Saturday, August 20th.
No experience is necessary, but you are asked to register beforehand by visiting WaterActionVolunteers.org/Events.
