Gislason Lake enhancement will improve waterfowl habitat

December 8, 2009

Gislason Lake, as many area waterfowl hunters already know, has long been a haven for redheads and canvasbacks. And after suffering the same fate as many other shallow lakes in Minnesota, it’s getting a another lease on life thanks to a water control structure that began operating in last month. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service partnered with Ducks Unlimited to install a water control structure that will allow managers to improve the water quality and vegetation conditions on the lake. The $100,000-plus project is supported by a 2009 grant to DU from the Minnesota Environment & Natural Resources Trust Fund as recommended by the Legislative-Citizen Commission on Minnesota Resources. “The Service is extremely pleased to partner with DU on this important shallow lake enhancement project,” said Alice Hanley, refuge manager at Big Stone National, which is tied with the Northern Tallgrass Prairie National Wildlife Refuge that includes Lincoln and Lyon counties.
