Midwest Region, June 27, 2008
Print Friendly Version
On June 27, Fishery Biologists Aaron Woldt and Adam Kowalski of the Alpena National Fish and Wildlife Conservation Office (NFWCO) staffed a Service information booth at the Alpena Friday Night Downtown! festival. Friday Night Downtown! is a city sponsored family event held every Friday night in late June and July in the downtown city streets of Alpena. Each Friday combines a different mix of live musical entertainment, kid's games and activities, food booths, public safety demonstrations by local law enforcement and emergency services agencies, and informational booths by local businesses, civic groups, and governmental agencies. Woldt and Kowalski distributed Service pamphlets and children's coloring pages and spoke with over 200 visitors to explain the role of the Service and the Alpena NFWCO in conserving natural resources. Topics discussed included lake trout rehabilitation, lake trout stocking, aquatic invasive species, sea lamprey control, the National Fish Hatchery program, fish passage, endangered species, Michigan mammals, the Partners for Fish and Wildlife Program, lake sturgeon tagging and tracking, lake whitefish population viability, and lake trout movement patterns.  Many visitors expressed thanks for the high quality of information provided.
