Suggested talking points:
- These bills overreach by removing protection from more than one million acres of wetlands
- These bills are widely opposed among the conservation community, including many hunting and fishing groups, who have expressed their concern to the Legislature
- Even small, seemingly isolated wetlands are crucial to the health of our land, water, wildlife, and communities
- Wisconsin is a leader in wetland protection, not an outlier.
- Regulations help prevent unnecessary harm to wetlands. Let’s find ways to fix the regulatory process without eliminating protections altogether.
