Dear Wetland Enthusiast,
Are you concerned about a project that threatens to degrade or destroy wetlands in your community? Let us help!

Every year, Wisconsin Wetlands Association receives calls and emails from dozens of citizens seeking advice on how to stop or reduce the wetland impacts of a proposed construction project. Through our own experience, and the success stories of many local wetland enthusiasts, we know that citizen-led wetland protection efforts can make a difference.

Behind every successful wetland protection effort, you’ll find individuals who:

1. Love wetlands and are willing to get involved in efforts to save them.
2. Help others understand the irreplaceable features and functions of the wetlands they seek to protect.
3. Understand the rules and regulations that apply to wetland development projects.
4. Exercise their right to participate in wetland regulatory decisions.

The following Protecting Wetlands web pages are designed to help you turn your concern for wetlands into informed and effective action for wetland protection. We’ve strived to present the tools and information on these pages in a user-friendly format that will meet the needs of the first-time advocate, but with sufficient detail to also provide information for seasoned conservation professionals and attorneys.

We encourage you to explore these pages to gain a better understanding of strategies and actions you can take to reduce the destruction of wetlands in your community.
