Eagle Scout works with DNR to improve fish habitat in Monroe Lake

MONROE LAKE – Greenwood native Aaron Wilson, an avid bass angler and Eagle Scout from Boy Scout Troop 245, combined his passion for fishing with community service to raise funds for, construct, and help install 20 fish habitat structures on Monroe Lake.

In cooperation with DNR, Wilson logged approximately 120 hours of volunteer service through his project. Wilson’s 20 new structures help fill gaps along a ½ mile fish habitat enhancement area created by DNR in 2019 along Monroe Lake. 

DNR is grateful for volunteers like Wilson who help conserve the resources they love.
