CLEAN WATER
In Wisconsin, water is an essential part of our natural heritage. Our lakes, rivers, streams and groundwater provide us with clean water to drink, diverse habitats for fish and wildlife, places to fish and swim, vibrant economic opportunities, and a beautiful landscape. Golden Sands RC&D is working on many projects to protect and improve our waters in the Central Sands region.
We work with lake groups, citizens, businesses and community organizations to prevent the spread of aquatic invasive species (AIS) and help remove them if already established. Click to read about how we can help you with your AIS problem.
