FWWA Attends, Exhibits at 40th Annual Wisconsin Lakes Partnership Convention

FWWA Table Highlighted Projects, Allowed for Engaging Conversations

From April 18th through April 20th, several staff members from the Fox-Wolf Watershed Alliance attended the 40th Annual Wisconsin Lakes Partnership Convention. This event draws organization leaders, volunteer monitors, resource managers, researchers, service providers and educators from around Wisconsin and even a few people from neighboring states. Attendees come together for workshops, poster sessions, and sessions while allowing for networking opportunities. Workshops covered topics ranging from Lake Association Management ideas to bat ecology and aquatic invasive species (AIS) updates. The Convention is an excellent place to reconnect with partners across the state and learn about issues and innovative solutions that are being incorporated across the state.

Our Executive Director Jessica, Winnebago Waterways AIS Coordinator Chris, and a newly hired Winnebago Waterways Project Assistant Austin attended the conference. Fox-Wolf also had a table set up that highlighted our programs and invited conference-goers to ask us questions, sign up for updates, and explore FWWA-created educational materials. There was a lot of interest in our programs and many people were excited to hear about the expanding Fox-Wolf program in Shawano and Menominee Counties with the hiring of a Project Coordinator and AIS Coordinator for those counties.

Winnebago Waterways is a Fox-Wolf Watershed Alliance program. The Fox-Wolf Watershed Alliance is an independent nonprofit organization that identifies and advocates effective policies and actions that protect, restore, and sustain water resources in the Fox-Wolf River Basin.
