(Note: not every property can qualify)

Find your lake on the Midwest Glacial Lakes Partnership’s Conservation Planner.  Is your lake in the  "red" , "yellow" or "green"  zone for level of Shoreland and Watershed Disturbance? 

Use the Conservation Planner information to help guide communication and management of your lake and it's "lakeshed".  The planner is based on the Midwest Glacial Lakes Partnership Phase II Assessment of Inland Lake Fish Habitats, which is in preparation for peer-reviewed publication.
