Waterfest is an event that is put on for 5th graders from local schools! The President and a set of volunteers take time to go every year to teach them about Aquatic Invasive Species (AIS), what the association is doing about them, and what they can do to help prevent the spread of AIS.

Shoreline Restoration Tour

Join us for a bus tour exploring shoreline restoration and water quality projects on Lake Koronis and Rice Lake in the North Fork Crow River Watershed. This informative tour will showcase firsthand how residents on Lake Koronis and Rice Lake are protecting their shorelines. These efforts are reducing erosion and runoff, improving water quality, and creating food and habitat for wildlife.

Participants will learn:

The benefits of natural buffers and native plantings for stabilizing shorelines and preventing soil loss.
How rain gardens and native vegetation filter runoff, keeping pollutants out of our lakes and rivers.
How to create healthy habitats that provide food and shelter for a variety of animals.

The tour starts at Paynesville's Veteran's Park, located on Lake Koronis with registration and a presentation. Then, the bus will take participants on a tour around Rice Lake and Lake Koronis, before returning to Veteran's Park for a light meal of sub sandwiches.
