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:
Partnerships
