Walworth County Lake Protection
Program -
In the Fall of 1999, Walworth County was awarded a $200,000 State
WDNR Lake Protection Grant to carry-out a 5-year Lake Protection
Program for Walworth County’s 36 lakes. This is the first
County-wide comprehensive lake protection program funded in the
state of Wisconsin to assist lake residents and lake management
organizations. With this state-supported grant, the Walworth County
Land Conservation was given the unique opportunity to hire a
full-time natural resource professional dedicated to assist lake
residents and lake management organizations protect water quality,
improve recreational use and establish near shore habitat on lakes
within Walworth County and the Fox River Basin.
Provided is information and education for lake
residents, schools and concerned citizens on several topics:
