Shelley Finfrock of the DeWitt County SWCD said, "This is a
great opportunity to get answers to questions that pond owners
have, plus the electro fishing demonstration is pretty
entertaining." Mike Garthaus, fish biologist with the Illinois
Department of Natural Recourses, will be the main presenter. He
will talk about weed control in your pond, proper fish stocking
rates and much more. He will also demonstrate an electro fishing
technique used by IDNR fish biologists to determine what is in a
pond.
Dave Shiley, natural resources management educator with the
University of Illinois Cooperative Extension, will also be on
hand to talk about management around the pond.
Rain date for the seminar is June 27.
For more information and complete directions to the pond
site, please call the DeWitt County SWCD at 217-935-6504, ext 3.
