Jason sent me an email yesterday volunteering as a contributor to the Birch Lake blog. I'm really looking forward to reading his entries.
Here's a short bio that he put together as an introduction.
*********************
Hello everybody!
My name is Jason Tutkowski and I am extremely proud to say that this
summer I am a water resources/aquatic invasive species intern at the North
Lakeland Discovery Center. I recently
graduated with my bachelor degree in Environmental Science from Carroll
University in Waukesha, WI, and will be attending graduate school this upcoming
fall at UW-Milwaukee. My past volunteer
experiences have mainly dealt with terrestrial invasive species such as teasel,
sweet clover, and buckthorn, so I am very pleased to have this entire summer to
learn about aquatic invasive species (AIS).
My main focus is on the lakes in the Town of Winchester including Birch
Lake, of which I have intensely surveyed twice already this summer. I will be working independently as well as
with the Winchester Town Lakes Committee and volunteers to locate, document,
and provide educational outreach for prominent invasive species such as curly
leaf pondweed, Eurasian water milfoil, and purple loosestrife. If you see a guy with a dark green Discovery
Center shirt on your lake, give me a wave!
This has been and will continue to be a great experience in the
Northwoods. I also want to thank Dorla
for allowing me to contribute to her wonderful blog.
