LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT
I would like to start this letter by sharing some exciting news. Stephanie Prellwitz, the Green Lake Association’s Executive Director, whom you know and who normally writes this letter, is on leave. She gave birth to Charlotte in mid-January. As I think about Charlotte coming into this world with an already wellestablished tie to Green Lake, I’m reminded once again that it is for Charlotte – and every one of our children and grandchildren – that all of us are working so hard to restore Green Lake. This is a big, long-term undertaking. To produce results that our children will see, we are starting now. Lake residents, farmers, businesses, cities and towns – all play an important role in restoring Green Lake. In 2017, the GLA reached out to listen, understand and engage all of these groups. With our members’ support and working closely with our partners, we accomplished a lot. We removed hundreds of thousands of pounds of invasive carp from the lake. We restored thousands of feet of degraded stream. We planted tens of thousands of aquatic plants to expedite the restoration of a degraded estuary. All of these actions were guided by our Roadmap to a Restored Green Lake – a robust, multi-step strategy that gets the most out of the limited resources at our disposal. Our Roadmap ensures that we invest in smart solutions targeted directly at Green Lake’s water quality challenges. You will read about our 2017 programs and activities and how they fit into our Roadmap in the following pages. We are lucky to live, work and play in such a wonderful community. In order to leave Green Lake in better condition for Charlotte and all of our families, we must work together on that common purpose. I know we will. Thank you for your continued support.

“ We really wanted to do something to share our story with the public. The first annual Green Lake Area Conservation Field Day allowed us to relay our message and show what producers are doing as far as conservation, the different types of resources we have, and how farming has changed over the years.” –Dave Wilke, local farmer and member of the Green Lake County Farm Bureau.

EVENT ATTENDEES
COMMUNICATE
CONSERVATION FIELD DAY Over 100 best management practices (BMPs)—grassed waterways, retention ponds, cover crops, among others—are sprinkled throughout the Green Lake watershed. This year, the GLA and our partners wanted to shine a light on these critical but overlooked practices and the landowners who use them. Together, our team hosted the first annual Green Lake Area Conservation Field Day to showcase just how effective these practices are at improving soil health and downstream water quality. Watch a video of the event at http://bit.ly/2EyUM89. We also highlighted the good work being done by local producers in a five-minute video. Check it out at http://bit.ly/2iXUDVj The Field Day was made possible by the efforts of the GLA, Green Lake County Farm Bureau, Green Lake County Land Conservation Department (LCD), Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), Ripon FFA, UW-Extension and many volunteers. BY THE NUMBERS: 64 Conservation Field Day guests 6 partner organizations 937 video views
ANNUAL MEETING There is so much good happening in Green Lake. The GLA’s Annual Meeting is an opportunity for members, friends and neighbors to gather together and learn about the good work being done to improve Green Lake’s water quality. This year, our focus was on Green Lake’s most wanted—carp—and the current management strategies to eradicate this invasive fish from the lake. Next annual meeting: Saturday, June 16, 2018 from 9-11 AM at Town Square in Green Lake. BY THE NUMBERS: 72 Annual Meeting guests 7 lucky winners of Green Lake smoked carp 2 featured guest speakers
ANNUAL GALA The annual gala is a celebration of our members and collective efforts to improve Green Lake’s water quality. The GLA launched several initiatives at our 9th annual gala including the removal of 28,000 nuisance carp from the lake, restoring 14,000 feet of eroding streams, installing over 6,000 plants in the degraded County Highway K Estuary and sponsoring over 300 water quality samples as part of expert-driven research through the University of Wisconsin-Madison’s Nelson Institute for Environmental Studies. Members stepped up in a monumental way, raising over $83,000 to support these lake-loving initiatives! Next Annual Gala: Saturday, August 4, 2018 from 5-10 PM. BY THE NUMBERS: 241 gala guests $83,000 raised in support of lake initiatives 1 anonymous, matching grant of $15,000 4
“ Green Lake’s monitoring buoys measure temperature at 21 different depths and dissolved oxygen concentrations at six depths. What makes the buoys a particularly useful tool is that they can take readings frequently—in this case hourly. This lets us look at how oxygen levels vary with factors such as sunlight and water movement, which will help our team establish the roles of biological and physical factors in causing Big Green’s band of low dissolved oxygen.” –Cory McDonald, assistant professor of civil and environmental engineering at Michigan Technological University and project consultant.

DIAGNOSE
LAKE BUOYS Two continuously-monitoring buoys made their debut on Green Lake this summer near Dartford Bay and Sandstone Bluff. As part of a major lake study, the buoys collected data including dissolved oxygen at various lake depths from May-October 2017 and will be put back to work the summer of 2018. Data collected will provide valuable insight into the processes leading to Green Lake’s low dissolved oxygen zone, or “dead zone.” This lake study is made possible by a grant awarded by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) to the GLA with substantial support contributed by the Green Lake Sanitary District (GLSD) and United States Geological Survey (USGS). BY THE NUMBERS: 2 lake buoys 100 feet of water 1 buoy recovery mission – from the bottom of Green Lake
UW-MADISON RESEARCH Following a two-year wetland study (2016-2017) conducted by UW-Madison graduate student, Sarah Fuller, the GLA is excited to continue graduate-level research on Green Lake. Rachel Johnson is a UW-Madison graduate student pursuing a double master’s degree in Biological Systems Engineering and Water Resources Management. Rachel will be conducting a two-year study (20182019) on Green Lake to build on Sarah’s work and to help guide the decision-making processes within the Green Lake watershed to improve the water quality of tributaries and the lake. Rachel’s research is being funded by the Green Lake Association and a Wisconsin Distinguished Graduate Fellowship in Water Resources. BY THE NUMBERS: 1,041 water samples collected 54 sampling volunteers 4 years of graduate-level research

“ When we install BMPs on the land, we try not to use a band aid approach. We look at solutions for the overall system instead of just looking at one particular area. Once you start to look at solutions as a system, the overall health of the soil will improve allowing greater infiltration of rain water and runoff. With greater infiltration, water quality will vastly improve due to the fact that there will be less runoff to carry sediment, phosphorus and other nutrients that are harmful to our lakes and streams.” –Paul Gunderson, County Conservationist with the Green Lake County Land Conservation Department

PARTICIPATING LANDOWNERS
PLAN
COMMUNITY AG SURVEY The GLA is working with our partners and landowners to bring local voices into our efforts to improve Green Lake’s water quality. In 2017, we sent a survey to every farm owner in the Green Lake watershed. The voluntary, anonymous assessment sought to better understand agricultural producers’ land management decisions and input for solutions that collectively benefit crops, soil health, and downstream water resources. With a phenomenal 40% response rate, we are eager to use this input to help guide future programs and incentives to increase the adoption of lake-friendly conservation practices in the Green Lake watershed. The Ag Survey was made possible by UW-Stevens Point, the GLA and the Lake Management Planning (LMP) team. BY THE NUMBERS: 460 surveys mailed 40% response rate 5 workable strategies developed
BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICE PLANNING The GLA helped secure a seventh year of federal funding through the NRCS’ National Water Quality Initiative for conservation practices within the Green Lake watershed. This funding, combined with contributions from the WDNR and the GLSD, helps interested landowners install potentially no-cost BMPs that are maintained in perpetuity by the GLSD. The effort partners county staff with landowners to install BMPs best suited for each unique operation. BMP planning in the Green Lake watershed is made possible by the efforts of the LMP team and participating landowners. BY THE NUMBERS: 18 cost-shared BMPs implemented 960 lbs. phosphorus diverted from Green Lake 480,000 lbs. algae prevented from growing in Green Lake
STORM WATER PLAN In 2017, the City of Green Lake, GLSD and the GLA took several strides forward in a city-wide initiative to better understand, and ultimately reduce, urban impacts to the lake. We discovered that 2.5% of total annual phosphorus loading to Green Lake comes from the City. The GLA helped conduct infiltration tests and basin inspections to identify future conservation practices to combat the impact of urban stormwater runoff on the lake. This project is made possible in part by GLA members, DNR, City of Green Lake and the GLSD. BY THE NUMBERS: 2.5% annual urban phosphorus loading to Green Lake 19 basins inspections performed 9 infiltration tests performed Photo by Damon Reabe. 8
“ If they [Green Lake County LCD and GLA] hadn’t come to me and explained that this property and stream is part of a much bigger issue that they’re trying to work on, I wouldn’t have known. I really wasn’t aware of the lasting damage caused by the 2008 flood on our waterways and how it had such a negative impact on everybody else—on our neighbors, the community and Green Lake. I was surprised at how interconnected it all was.” –Lynne Goldsmith, property manager of Avalon Creek Farm LLC

POUNDS OF WEEDS PREVENTED
ACT
STREAM RESTORATION This fall, the GLA helped facilitate and fund 6,000 feet of stream restoration at Avalon Creek Farm thanks to GLA members who generously supported the initiative at the annual gala. Eroding stream banks transport excessive nutrients downstream that fuel the growth of weeds and algae in Green Lake. By restoring vulnerable systems, we are able to cut off a major source of sediment and nutrient loading to the lake! Watch the Avalon Creek Farm stream restoration project unfold in minutes in the Green Lake County LCD’s time-lapse video. http://bit.ly/2i0nmVF. This project was made possible by the Green Lake LCD, NRCS, GLSD, DNR, GLA members and property managers, Lynne and Brad Goldsmith. BY THE NUMBERS: 6,000 feet restored stream 300 approximate pounds of phosphorus diverted from Green Lake 150,000 approximate pounds of weeds prevented from growing in Green Lake
CARP REMOVAL Two years ago, Green Lake’s infamous carp formed a stinky tide of dead floater carp on our shores. This year, we doubled down on management strategies with our partners to reduce the negative effects of spawning season. Our team removed 170,000 pounds of invasive carp from Green Lake. GLA members contributed over $15,000 at the annual gala to offer weight-based subsidies for a commercial fisherman and to sponsor summer staff to remove carp from the CTH K Estuary. This project is made possible by the LMP team and GLA members. BY THE NUMBERS: 170,000 pounds of carp removed from Green Lake 6,140 approximate pounds of phosphorus removed along with carp 3.1 million approximate pounds of weeds prevented from growing in the lake
WETLAND RESTORATION The degraded CTH K Estuary is the second highest nutrient loader to Big Green. This summer, the LMP team and Green Lake School District placed 27,5000 native plant propagules into the estuary as part of a multi-year attempt to convert the presently degraded wetland into a healthy one. Building on this great work, GLA members raised funds at the annual gala to install over 6,150 phosphorus absorbing plants and are sponsoring over 300 water quality samples as part of a graduate-level study to restore the wetland. This project is made possible by the LMP team and GLA members. BY THE NUMBERS: 27,500 plant propagules 53 student and partner organization volunteers 12 carp exclosures
