Moen Lake Chain Association

GET INVOLVED

With the growing concern of aquatic invasive species (AIS) threatening the health of our Northwoods water resources, many lake residents and other concerned citizens are looking for ways to protect the lakes they love. If you would like to become a watercraft inspector, or need a refresher before the opening of fishing season, a free CBCW training can show you how. The Oneida County Land & Water Conservation Department’s Aquatic Invasive Species Program is offering seven CBCW trainings this spring.

CLICK HERE for the 2025 Training Schedule and please help protect our lakes and water ways.
