Clean Boats, Clean Waters is coordinated by Beaver Creek Reserve Citizen Science Center and the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources as part of the University of Wisconsin Extension's statewide Clean Boats, Clean Waters project

Description:

Clean Boats, Clean Waters is a project designed to educate the general public and enlist their help in preventing the spread of aquatic invasive species (AIS). Volunteers attend a 3 hour training session to learn how to conduct watercraft inspections, attain general information about AIS, and pick-up the required equipment for inspections. As a volunteer, you spend time at public boat landings in Eau Claire, Chippewa, Dunn, Barron, and/or St. Croix counties working to educate boaters and stop the spread of AIS species.
