Our Approach

We base decisions on sound science, taking a watershed approach that bridges jurisdictional and social boundaries and recognizes that how we manage the land affects our water resources.

Where We Are
We work across the five watersheds that make up the Greater Milwaukee Watersheds- the Milwaukee River, Menomonee River, Kinnickinnic River, Oak Creek, and Root River Watersheds.
These watersheds span seven counties and hundreds of square miles. We work with stakeholders throughout the area to restore and protect this region’s water resources.
