• Green Bay is the largest freshwater estuary in the world.
• The Fox River powers our industry and our farms.
• Lake Winnebago provides drinking water for over 200,000 people.
• Recreational fishing brings $287 million into the area annually.

But our waters are in trouble. You may have noticed that in the summer our lakes turn green, and even start to smell. That’s because of the excess sediment and phosphorous in the water. When our waters are polluted, most people can’t enjoy their favorite activities. And that’s not good for the people who work, live, and play here.

Fox-Wolf Watershed Alliance gives people and organizations the knowledge, practices, and financial support they need to join their neighbors in restoring our waterways. We work on very large projects, including installing breakwaters and runoff treatment systems, and on smaller efforts, helping homeowners with simple projects to impact stormwater quality. We monitor the water to ensure that our practices are effective, and we enlist citizen scientists who volunteer to help check their favorite places.

We’ve been working in the area for over 30 years, and we are a respected member of the conservation community. People turn to us for information, advice, and financial support. But when we run out of funding and staff time, we have to say no to even worthwhile programs and projects.

• helping a riverside park install native plants to prevent erosion of the riverbank
• showing up in a 2nd grade classroom to teach kids how they can make a difference
• demonstrating best practices with local farmers
• monitoring water for both good and bad changes
• finding cost-effective solutions for local communities
