Wisconsin Land and Water Conservation Departments

County Land and Water Conservation Departments were created to provide local leadership in carrying out programs that conserve Wisconsin's land and water resources. Working closely with the Land and Water Conservation Committees, they are the primary local delivery system of natural resource programs.

Their connection to county government gives them an understanding of local land and water resource problems and solutions. That's why they're an excellent source for conservation assistance and planning.  They provide educational, technical and conservation planning assistance to help communities control rural and urban soil erosion; protect lakes, streams and groundwater; and manage woodlots, forests and wildlife.
