Aquatic Invasive Species Training: Burlington

Training Description

This aquatic invasive species training is hosted by Wisconsin Sea Grant. It includes an in-classroom training session followed by looking for AIS along the shore. No experience or special equipment is required. 

Are you interested in protecting our rivers from aquatic invasive species? Join Project RED (Riverine Early Detectors) on July 30th. Volunteers like you are invaluable for early detection of aquatic invasive species.

Attend a free aquatic invasive species detector training and learn how to:

• Identify aquatic invasive species in Wisconsin
• Monitor for aquatic invasive species
• Collect and report findings

What to expect

This event begins at 6pm at the Fox River at Wehmhoff Jucker Park for the presentation portion of the event. During the search along the shoreline, participants will gain hands on experience with invasive species identification and monitoring.  We plan to conclude the training by 7pm.

Weather-appropriate clothing, sturdy shoes, grippy shoes that can get wet or waders (if entering the water), water bottle, bug repellant, polarized sunglasses (if available), hat, sunscreen

How to dress

Clothing that correlates to weather conditions (layers are best), clothes for being outside in the sun (hat, long sleeves, shorts or pants), sandals/waterproof boots/waders if planning on wading in the river (optional)
