The Valley Stewardship Network is partnering with the River Alliance of Wisconsin and the Kickapoo Valley Reserve to host Project RED in the Kickapoo Watershed! What is this Project RED? “RED” in Project RED stands for Riverine Early Detectors. The River Alliance of Wisconsin has launched Project RED to identify invasive species that are a growing threat to our flowing waters. Standard Project RED involvement provides you with the necessary tools to identify 15 aquatic and wetland species and report their presence. In this Kickapoo Watershed series the River Alliance Invasive species experts will teach us about the invasive species that are threats to the Kickapoo Watershed such as Japanese knotweed and purple loosestrife. These invasive species cause erosion of streambanks and decrease habitat for birds and other wildlife that thrive in the river corridor.

*Project RED Events:*

July 31st – Project RED Training, 1-4 pm at the Kickapoo Valley Reserve Center - S3661 State Road 131, La Farge. Learn to detect and report aquatic invasive species.

August 28th – Project RED Snapshot Day (Canoe trip), 12 pm to BBQ at the LaFarge Community Park (located adjacent to LaFarge Public Schools) Put your knowledge to use. Join us for a day of paddling and identification, BBQ to follow.
