Webinar: How to build a boat wash station
|
Thursday, January 16, 2025 from 12:00 - 1:00 PM EST
Zoom (link provided upon registration. The webinar will be recorded and shared on BCD’s YouTube Channel). Free! Registration is required. |
Speaker:
Nancy Popa, Lake Leelanau Lake Association President.
In this webinar:
This webinar will examine the steps necessary to develop a boat wash station, including permitting, design, and costs.
After the discovery of Eurasian Watermilfoil (EWM) in Lake Leelanau in 2019, the Lake Leelanau Lake Association recognized the need for boat wash stations to prevent the further introduction of invasive species and to limit the spread of EWM from Lake Leelanau to other lakes. With 14 public access sites on Lake Leelanau, the team began by investigating the possibility of building a boat wash station at the lake's busiest (DNR) boat access site. With a handful of obstacles, the boat wash station eventually came to fruition and paved the way for 3 more boat wash stations over the next three years.

About the speaker:
Linda Hamilton is a paper artist living in Almonte Ontario, Canada. She creates realistic botanical models of plants and flowers using a variety of different papers, glue, wire, and paint.
In this webinar:
Over the years, Linda has created many pieces for use as identification tools including native and non-native wildflowers, grasses, and aquatic plants. In 2024, she created five large display boxes featuring submerged aquatic plants for Benzie Conservation District. These are being used to illustrate the differences between native and invasive species in our waters.
In this talk, Linda will discuss her process of researching, designing, and creating accurate plant models. She will share examples of past and current projects, and she'll talk about the materials and tools she uses in her studio. Linda will also be available to answer any questions you may have about making and using three-dimensional models as teaching tools.
