Taylorsville Lake Fish Habitat Project
December 3 @ 9:30 am - December 5 @ 3:00 pm
DCFF has been invited to help with this project and we would like to provide 3 volunteers each day. If, after reading the project description below, you decide you want to help out please click here to signup. You can volunteer for one or more days.
This is a great opportunity to help improve the fishery habitat on one of the most popular lakes in central Kentucky and become better acquainted with some of the KDFWR staff.
The DCFF point of contact for this project is Jeff Daiber (DCFF Conservation Director) (Jeff.Daiber@outlook.com, 502-544-6630)
More details will be provided as they become available.
The Central Fisheries District (CFD) of the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources (KDFWR) is planning to complete a cedar tree habitat project at Taylorsville Lake where cedars are cut from the shoreline and placed into the water to resemble natural hinge cut trees. This project is in cooperation with the Taylorsville ACOE Office and Taylorsville Lake State Park. The work is scheduled for the week of December 2nd-6th – but they only need our help the 3rd through the 5th. If the weather or lake levels don’t allow for this work, the back up will be the following week. The game plan will be to have 12 staff/volunteers on the ground each day to cover the operations of Nick’s Habitat Barge, Chad’s Habitat Barge, shoreline crew blocking trees and a chainsaw crew.
The plan is for the DCFF volunteers to meet the others at the Settlers Trace Marina Boat Ramp on Taylorsville Lake at 9:30 am and work til about 3:00 pm.
