WLWCA's Philosophy
Wisconsin’s land resources have long supported our state’s agricultural,
industrial and recreational needs. When used with care, these resources remain
rich and abundant. When they’re taken for granted, erosion robs our soil of
fertility and chokes our waters with sediment. Harmful chemicals and livestock
wastes can pollute our streams, lakes and wells. In addition, forests and
wildlife suffer from misuse or degradation of habitat. Educating and advocating
ways to properly manage woodlands and wildlife, reduce of soil loss and improve
water quality is the philosophy of land and water conservation.
| For nearly half a century, WLWCA has been working to improve the understanding of conservation issues and achieve tangible improvements in land use management. Every citizen benefits from the protection of our natural resources. The public’s help is needed to build and provide a permanent financial base for WLWCA’s conservation work. |
