A Conversation with Regent Tim Higgins: Part 3

I'll be using my e-updates to highlight constituents of the 56th District and give you the opportunity to learn about some of the dedicated public servants we have in our own community. This is the last video of my conversation with Regent Tim Higgins.

Tim is a constituent of the 56th District and serves on the UW Board of Regents. In this video, we talked about the Wisconsin Idea and the benefits the UW contributes to our taxpayers and economic development.

Online Tool to Report Invasive Species

In last week's e-update, there was a story about an invasive aquatic species called round gobies that were recently discovered below the Neenah dam. You can learn more about round gobies from the Department of Natural Resource's (DNR) September 3rd, press release.

The DNR needs your assistance to report findings of these invasive species. If you catch a round goby, you should kill it, and if you have access to a mobile device, immediately submit a report of the catch to the DNR via an online survey tool. Anglers are also being encouraged to bring single dead goby specimens caught on Lake Winnebago or the lower Fox River system below the Neenah and Menasha dams to the DNR Oshkosh office located at 625 E. County Road Y Suite 700, Oshkosh, WI, 54901. The office is open 8:30am to 4:00pm Monday through Friday. More information here.
