TUDARE

Driftless Area Restoration Effort
Since it was conceived in 2004, TUDARE has worked to ramp up restoration work across the unglaciated, or “Driftless” area of the upper Mississippi River Basin.

This 24,000-square-mile area lies in southeastern Minnesota, northeast Iowa, northwest Illinois and western and southwestern Wisconsin. It offers over 6,000 miles of cold spring creeks in 600 watersheds, one of the largest assemblages anywhere.

TUDARE has developed manuals for best management practices for non-game species and cooperated with prairie restoration and other wildlife groups.

Wisconsin Wetland Association

We are dedicated to the protection, restoration, and enjoyment of wetlands and associated ecosystems through science-based programs, education, and advocacy. We are a statewide non-profit 501(c)(3) organization based in Madison, Wisconsin.

We envision a state where wetlands are healthy and plentiful and support ecological and societal needs, and where citizens care for, appreciate, and interact with these natural resources. 

Wisconsin DNR

Wisconsin boasts over 13,000 miles of trout streams with over 5,000 classified as high quality, class I trout streams.

 Stream habitat development today is a widely used approach to rehabilitate or restore degraded streams to improve trout fisheries. Increases in trout abundance …

NRCS

The Natural Resources Conservation Service is the federal agency that works with landowners on private lands to conserve natural resources. NRCS is part of the U.S. Department of Agriculture.  We were formerly called the Soil Conservation Service or “SCS”. 

What We Do

Nearly three-fourths of the technical assistance provided by the agency goes to helping farmers and ranchers develop conservation systems uniquely suited to their land and individual ways of doing business. The agency also provides assistance to other private landowners and rural and urban communities to reduce erosion, conserve and protect water, and solve other resource problems.

We Have the Power to Impact Our Future, and We’re Doing Something About It

One of the most important steps in a stream restoration project is the determination of project goals and objectives. Goals are general and are highly dependent upon context, while objectives are measurable and in support of the stated goals. Once established, goals need to be clarified through objectives that describe how the goals will be attained.

Wisconsin Wetlands Association invites you to participate in the 27th Annual Wetland Science Conference, to be held February 15-17, 2022, at the Holiday Inn Hotel and Convention Center in Stevens Point, Wisconsin (barring public health guidelines discouraging large group gatherings!).
Join other scientists and professionals of the wetland and water community of Wisconsin and the upper Midwest to:

  • Share your wetland research, restoration, management, or outreach program;
  • Learn new identification and assessment approaches and techniques;
  • Hear about approaches to incorporating wetlands into watershed & community planning;
  • Discuss the latest in wetland science, planning, and protection issues;
  • Look ahead to the future of wetland science and practices in Wisconsin and the Midwest.

 The 2-day in-person conference, which is expected to draw more than 350 attendees, will include plenary sessions, organized symposia, topical oral sessions, a poster session, workshops, a banquet, and field trips to area wetlands. The conference will also offer many opportunities for student engagement and networking.

The solution to any problem -work, love, money, whatever -is to go fishing, and the worse the problem, the longer the trip should be.
