The project was led by Langlade County’s Land Conservation Technician Molly McKay and Tyler Betry, Langlade County’s shoreland protection specialist, assisted by Friends members June Hoddel, Karen Trembath, and Joan Resch.
According to McKay, work involved removing invasive canary reed grass and restoration of the native habitat through the planting of 39 trees and plants.
“Hopefully they will get re-established in that area,” she said.
