A proposed electrical project for the offseason at Peninsula State Park could cause you to see less of an endangered snake slithering around the park. The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources released the jeopardy assessment this month surrounding how an electrical project at Peninsula State Park could cause the accidental death of the Eastern Ribbonsnake. Wisconsin Public Service proposes to abandon approximately 1,790 feet of underground electric lines, remove existing cross-country overhead electric lines, and install more than 2,300 feet of underground electric cable. According to the assessment, the work could impact the fresh meadow wetland near the park entrance that the snake prefers to call home, especially during summer. The hope is that by doing the work during the park’s slowest time of the year is that it will have a minimal impact on not just its human visitors but the Eastern Ribbonsnake that calls the area home. Monitoring will occur, and any snakes encountered during the project will be removed and relocated. With additional precautions, the DNR expects the Eastern Ribbonsnake's incidental take will be low. Residents can voice their concern about the project to the DNR until September 21st.
