State agencies exist to administer policies and programs that either create public benefits, prevent public harm, or both. Healthy and abundant wetlands also provide public benefits and prevent public harm.
Learn more about one of the projects funded by the innovative Pre-Disaster Flood Resilience Grant Program. In the first round of the program, the City of Green Bay received $250,000 for an implementation project.
State agency initiatives offer an effective pathway to increase public investments in wetlands conservation and build a more robust and cohesive wetland workforce.
Learn about our collaboration with the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade, and Consumer Protection (DATCP) to promote hydrologic restoration and to help address water management issues in agricultural landscapes.
Given that we don’t own or manage land or plan and implement restoration projects directly, much of our work emphasizes building the capacity of those who do or could engage in wetland conservation work.
