Maybe the Village should look at the overuse of salt on roads in the winter?

Comment on No Mow May or Low-Mow Lawn? Here’s What to Know Before You Stash the Mower by Tom. Hallquist

I mow a lot more often during May mulching with the mower set at 3.5 inches which leaves dandelions blooms and the clover blooms for pollinators. I like more frequent mulching when grass grows fast. I believe the finer grass clippings fall deep into the grass making kess runoff.

Comment on WI DNR awards more than $6.2 million in funding across WI to protect and restore waterways by Chris Acy

In reply to Robert Logemann. We're so glad you brought this up! We work with local launch owners to discuss getting running water stations at boat launches. For some launches, the idea has been explored and it would be very expensive to get running water added. For these launches, we are working to get shared tools installed to help clean off boats and trailers (such as brushes, a grabber tool to pull off the hard to reach plants on a trailer, etc.). There are a few launches around the Winnebago System that have washer stations installed currently! Check out the City of Neenaha Recreation Park (Lake Winnebago) and Fritse Park (Little Lake Butte des Morts). As other launches get washer stations or boat cleaning tools installed, we will post updates to our website. Keep checking back in!

Clean boats program. It would be very helpful if there was running water at the launch to wash off the boats. Just a thought>
