Off Off Off Off Yes Success Story The Bayfield County LWCD has assisted a group of citizens on Bony Lake in obtaining a $100,000 DNR Lake Management Grant to begin a whole lake restoration project. There is no lake association on this lake so the LWCD acts as the fiscal agent for the effort and provides technical and educational assistance to the participants. To date about 50% of the landowners have indicated interest in completing the shoreland restoration work. This level of participation will address shoreland issues on 5800 feet (56%) of the shoreline as well as 60% of the lake's watershed. What is unique about this project is that it includes installation of Course Woody Habitat using both open water and on-ice techniques. A survey of CWH in th elake showed only 80 pieces of wood. To date the project has installed an additional 320 tree, quadrupling the available habitat. The CWH complexes of five to fifteen full length trees are designed for maximum habitat benefit rather than simple placement of individual trees. The complexes have multiple layers in the design to support the structure above the lake bottom and provide a matrix of cover and openings to which fish relate. The project integrates sound forest management practices on the near shore area to thin trees, promoting better growth and diversity while putting the selected trees to a higher and better use in the lake. The trees are expected to last 100 - 300 years when submerged in the lake. Activities include the removal of rip rap and various structures, erosion control, rain gardens, and buffer planting. I & E activities cover shoreland erosion issues, habitat, silvaculture, and stewardship. This effort has also created supporting infrastructure with the training of a contractor that can perform this unique work on projects in the future. This project has advanced the accumulation of CWH in Bony Lake by an estimated 300 years. The effort has already created additional interest from a sportsmans club and the LWCD has assisted them in the placement of 70 trees on the adjacent lake in the chain. The partnership in this effort includes the DNR Lakes Specialist, Fisheries Manager, and Water Regulations Specialist.
