If there was one thing Jimmy Buffett loved as much as performing on stage, it was his connection to the waters of our wonderful planet. The Parrot Head Club of Green Bay (PHCGB) is proud to once again partner with the Fox-Wolf Watershed Alliance for their Adopt-a-Launch program. For a second year, members of PHCGB will monitor the Howard Memorial Park boat launch.
The primary objective is to check for invasive species. Situated along Duck Creek near its entrance into the Bay of Green Bay, this corridor closely links to the neighboring Fox River, Lake Winnebago, and the greater Great Lakes system. This makes Howard Memorial Park an ideal location for monitoring the transfer of invasive species between these interconnected aquatic ecosystems. Additionally, club members remove plant material from the launch area, monitor for structural damage, and complete a regular litter cleanup. We are proud to look after this little piece of one of Northeast Wisconsin’s greatest treasures. For more info on the Fox-Wolf Watershed Alliance go to: https://fwwa.org/
