Aquatic Invasive Species
The Marshall SWCD along with Curt Quesnell from the NCOR Guide Service have entered into a promotional partnership to bring awareness to aquatic invasive species. These species cause harm to our environment, economy, and health. Watch for the NCOR Guide boat with the Clean, Drain and Dry wrap at Lake of the Woods boat landings, at hot spots on the water, and at area parades and festivals this year.
