Lake Wise Assessor Training - Brandon

We will meet at the Brandon Public Library at 1pm. We will go over the purpose of Lake Wise, the basics of the Shoreland Protection Act, an overview of the assessment, and make sure everyone has the up to date app on their phone. Then we will travel 10 minutes to Fern Lake where we will do a mock Lake Wise assessment together (please think about carpooling).
Space may be limited for this training. If we reach capacity priority will be given to those who have never taken the Lake Wise Assessor Training.
