An Overview of Snapshot Day
Snapshot Day is a statewide, one-day event connecting volunteers, water lovers, and local conservation groups in a search for aquatic invasive species (AIS). You can help protect Wisconsin rivers, lakes, and wetlands from these invasive plants and animals that may negatively impact habitat, wildlife, recreation and health. This event is coordinated in partnership with UW-Madison Division of Extension, Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, Wood County Land & Water Conservation, and YOU!
Join Wood County Land & Water Conservation staff at the East Wazeecha Picnic Area (7910 North Park Rd, Wisconsin Rapids, WI) on Saturday, August 9, 2025 from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. This is a free event and no experience or special equipment is required. Please register at https://go.wisc.edu/667js4.
After a short training on how to identify target aquatic invasive species and how to follow search protocols, volunteers will look for invasive species at critical monitoring sites, and potential invasive species will be verified and cataloged with the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources to guide species control and conservation management plans.
