Pigeon Lake Shoreline Restoration NES is currently working with the Pigeon Lake Protection and Rehabilitation District in Clintonville, WI on the restoration of 400 feet of shoreline vegetation. With the help of Clintonville City workers and NES technicians, biolog revetments were installed to temporarily protect the shoreline, while wave breaks were installed further out into the lake. These wave breaks will provide temporary protection for newly planted bulrush, burreed, pickerel weed and water lily species. The establishment of a healthy vegetated shoreline will provide fish habitat and will protect the shoreline from erosion. To obtain funding for this project, NES helped the Pigeon Lake  Rehabilitation District obtain a Wisconsin DNR Planning and Protection  Grant. Volunteers from the District are also involved in collecting water quality data from tributaries to the Pigeon River. This data will provide information to help scientists and local government officials to better manage  the watershed.
