Dear Friends,
I am hoping some of you might be interested in this forum on the recreational impacts of DNR decisions.

On May 19th, there is a  SE Wis Lakes Forum on Recreational Impacts. All topics are open for discussion. Protecting wetlands and sensitive areas is a challenge for many lakes. St John's Bay's recent permit approval demonstrates a serious lack of continuity and commitment on the part of decision makers (DNR and City of D) to protect these areas.
We need to ask; Does the approval of this permit now reflect a new direction for DNR? Ignore the science out there and permit by permit start allowing the destruction of our precious habitats already defined by the DNR as fragile and significant for wildlife.
As citizens we were assured these habitats we off limits!

This Forum will also be focusing on the serious damage Wake boats and wake surfing are causing to our shores and water quality.  The science is out there with compelling indisputable arguments supporting both these worthy causes. All this needs more publicity.

Please spread the word to anyone you know concerned with recreational impacts on our lakes.
Here is the link to the Forum

Friday, May 19, 2023 – 9:00AM-4:00PM
