Upper watershed wetlands are critical to regulating water throughout watersheds, yet they are among the most under-recognized wetlands in Wisconsin and sometimes some of the most altered.
A large portion of the Rock River Basin consists of wetlands that were converted to croplands. The Actually Restorable Wetland (ARW) map helps locate suitable wetland restoration sites based on both property boundaries and ecological factors.
The Lower Wisconsin Riverway stretches 92 miles from the Prairie du Sac Dam to its confluence with the Mississippi River. A vital, wild recreational and educational resource, it also harbors important cultural sites and is one of the nation's most significant riverine systems.
The story of the Horicon Marsh is one of creation, destruction, and revival.
