Tribes in Wisconsin are doing vital work to protect and restore wetlands and watersheds. A series of short videos highlights their stories to raise awareness of their important work.
On the last day of the 2025 Wetland Science Conference, Wisconsin Wetlands Association and Trout Unlimited teamed up to facilitate a workshop titled “Resilient Streams, Resilient Infrastructure.”
Addressing the regulatory and capacity barriers that hinder floodplain restoration efforts are a key priority of the WWA’s policy agenda because healthy well-connected floodplains are integral to wetland and river systems.
Governor Evers recently joined Wisconsin Emergency Management in announcing grant awards to flood prone local governments under the new Pre-Disaster Flood Resilience Grant Program.
The connection between wetlands, streams, and floodplains and flood risk reduction is clear: in a healthy and well-connected state this natural infrastructure captures and reduces the energy and velocity of floods. New reports that summarize work done in the Marengo River Watershed demonstrate this connection.
