Natural Management Overview:

The Core Zone for Naga Waukee Park and the
Pewaukee Boat Launch are combined for the
purposes of this plan. The zone covers 98.4 acres. The
Pewaukee Boat Launch is the east half of this zone and
contains one of the best sedge meadows in the
County’s system. High quality fen and marsh also add
to this meadow. Invasive species that challenge the
management of the Core Zone include Common
buckthorn, Phragmites, and Reed canary grass. The
goal for management is to restore and maintain as a
high quality wetland, especially the fen area. The
quality of the vegetation warrants management
efforts in this area.
