Aquatic Invasive Species (AIS) Detector

Dear Friends of the Lake;

Doug Joens, who is the treasurer and board member for the Forest Lake Lake Association, is now a Volunteer Aquatic Invasive Species (AIS) Detector for the State of Minnesota. Doug completed a 16-hour course developed by the University of Minnesota, related to basic aquatic ecology, AIS identification, impacts and biology, Minnesota rules and regulations, preventing the spread of AIS, and reporting. He is available to the public for questions regarding AIS which include plants and animals.

If you find something or have a question related to AIS, please contact Doug by phone or mobile message at 612-860-0055 or email at joensd@gmail.com. His job regarding citizen inquiries would be to use the proper channels to document the incident and send it on to an expert to verify the siting.

We need all of our members to be the eyes for the lake so please do not hesitate to contact Doug.
