Volunteer Opportunities

In pursuit of its goals, the association relies heavily on volunteers from its general membership. Participation in one or more association activities not only helps the flowage, but it affords members a chance to work along-side like-minded advocates for this valued resource. Volunteer opportunities include work on standing committees and on special committees established by the board. Leadership opportunities exist, as well, through service on the board of directors as an officer or one of five directors at large. For more information, contact committee chairs. To volunteer, check the appropriate committee on either membership form.

Want to get involved? Leadership opportunities include serving on the Board of Directors as President, Vice President, Treasurer, Secretary and Director.

Other opportunities include working on the following committees:

Membership Committee

Water Quality Committee

Education and Communications Committee

Water Level Committee

Communicates with the WDNR and Xcel Energy regarding the flowage’s water level and outflow rates in order to maintain compliance with the MOU (Memorandum of Understanding) results in a water level regime that meets reasonable utilization expectations of our members and citizens of the State of Wisconsin. When authorized by the board, represents the association at hearings and meetings relating to water levels.

Fish Management Committee

Invasive Species Committee

Coordinates monitoring, education and management activities relating to invasive species; partners with natural resource agency staff in conducting management and monitoring and prevention activities. When authorized by the board, represents the association at hearings and meetings relating to invasive species concerns.

Over recent years, the efforts of the group have been focused on controlling and reducing the spread of purple loosestrife in and around the flowage. Over a dozen volunteers are needed to search the shorelines each July for purple loosestrife plants. Then one day each year a work day is held to remove or kill the plants. Very good news here. Zach Wilson of the Iron County Land and Water Conservation Department says that we are “winning the war” on PL!
