WOTUS rule update: Our submitted comments

With the public comment period for proposed revisions to the federal definition of Waters of the United States (WOTUS) now closed, we’d like to share the comments Wisconsin Wetlands Association submitted and thank the many members and colleagues who took the time to submit individual comments. Seeing you share your knowledge of, and passion for, wetlands conservation is a bright light reminder that our wetlands community is committed and strong.

Speaking of bright lights…

As we enter a new year, WWA staff will be working to shine more bright lights on the positive impacts of our work and yours. Watch upcoming blogs, social media posts, and Wetland Coffee breaks for stories illustrating how WWA’s work is helping to build state and local capacity for wetlands conservation, expanding the wetland community, and resulting in more and better voluntary wetland protection and restoration work.

First up is a Wetland Coffee Break on January 16th on The Importance of State Agency Collaborations for Effective Wetlands Conservation. WWA’s Policy Programs Director Erin O’Brien will share perspectives on why expanding state agency collaborations is essential to advancing WWA’s mission, and will share examples of how WWA has helped multiple state agencies expand their use of wetlands as solutions.
