Long Term Management of ILF Wetland Mitigation Sites

The Wisconsin Wetland Conservation Trust (WWCT) is seeking a contractor to provide Long-Term Management (LTM) services at Wisconsin In-Lieu Fee (ILF) Wetland Mitigation sites. The goal of this LTM work is to maintain and improve ILF mitigation sites that have met final performance standards and have been released from performance monitoring. The work will primarily center on annual invasive species control and occasional prescribed burning. The contract is for one year with four one-year renewal options for a total possible contract of five years. • The WWCT has restored 14 sites totaling 850 acres. • ILF mitigation sites must meet vegetative performance standards, typically for five years. • Typical LTM tasks will consist of invasive species control through herbicide treatments and mowing, prescribed burning, and potentially occasional reseeding. • A non-wasting endowment with the Natural Resources Foundation of Wisconsin will provide funding for LTM activities.
