Glacial Lakes Conservancy holding plant sale

Glacial Lakes Conservancy is holding its annual plant sale.

April showers can bring May GLC flowers if you purchase yours today! Perfect for a Mother’s Day treat, or for yourself.

Larger baskets this year means more plants for your donation. There are herbs you can use in cooking that are mingled into one of the presentations, and perennial native plants in the other that you can separate and plant right into your gardens.

This year, there is a choice of two different baskets: flower and herb, or Wisconsin native plants so you can help our pollinator habitats even in your own back yards.

Plants and herbs are included like cone flowers, prairie dropseed, monarda, asters and a huge variety of herbs and flowering plants.

Cost is $125 per basket and basket orders are due by May 6. 100% of a charitable donation purchase helps GLC preserve land and water in its five-county area.

The easiest way to purchase is online, or you can send a check made to Glacial Lakes Conservancy, 529 Ontario Ave., Sheboygan, WI 53081, with an indication if it’s for a plant(s) donation and where it should be delivered. Delivery will be May 10. Or, go to https://www.glaciallakes.org/store/p1/baskets.html to make a purchase.

Too late to view sturgeon spawning

Sometimes there are just not enough days in a week.

We planned to go to Shawano again this April to view the sturgeon during their spawning run up the Wolf River.

This year, we missed our chance, as sturgeon are no longer seen in Shiocton or New London and only a very few are left near the Shawano dam.

By the time you read this column, the sturgeon will probably all be gone from Shawano as well.

When the river temperature warmed to where sturgeon needed it to spawn, it was over in only a few days.

I guess we have something to look forward to for next spring.

Spring turkey season is here

April 17 was opening day for the first of six seven-day spring turkey seasons in Wisconsin.

The first day was windy and rainy, but by the second day, turkey hunters were having good success. Quite a few people I knew harvested some very nice toms.

My brother, Rick Schuh, tried something new this year. He wanted to harvest a turkey with his crossbow. On the first day, he never got a bird close enough. But early morning on the second day, it happened. Rick was hunting on our land near Menchalville when he got his chance. The arrow was true, so he can now say he took a turkey with his crossbow.

Fishing season begins May 4

May 4 is opening day of fishing season in Wisconsin for most — but not all — species.

The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources wants to remind anglers they need to review the 2024 fishing pamphlet before heading out on a fishing trip so they understand the laws and what is new for this year.

Northern and southern zones have some differences, so make sure you know what area you are fishing in.

That’s it for this week, so have fun in the great outdoors.
