Rusty Crayfish Traps - Yellow River, Wood County

Featured Local Project

For the month of July, 2009, Golden Sands Resource Conservation & Development (RC&D) conducted a study to determine whether specially-designed crayfish traps could effectively reduce the population of rusty crayfish (Orconectes rusticus) in a section of the Yellow River in Wood County. The project was designed to mimic an effort that a citizen group could easily manage, so the traps were built by hand by UWSP students and were baited with canned cat food. more
