This fall, Mercer County Conservation District, along with partners on the local Partnerships for Regional Invasive Species Management (PRISM) pilot program advisory board offered guided pontoon boat tours of Lake Wilhelm at Maurice K. Goddard State Park.

Advisory members and DCNR staff presented topics on invasive species and how they disrupt lake ecosystems. Past, present, and future projects were also discussed. PA SeaGrant donated 50 PA Field Guides to Aquatic Invasive Species, which were distributed during the tours. The project cost $591.20 in grant funding.

Financial and other support for the PRISM Pilot Program in NW Pennsylvania is provided by the Pennsylvania Association of Conservation Districts, Inc. through a Landscape Scale Restoration Grant with the Forest Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). USDA is an equal opportunity provider, employer, and lender.
