Lower East River Revitalization Plan
|
|
|
Bay-Lake RPC began working with The Nature Conservancy to create a local technical advisory group. The group met early in June to discuss the development of a revitalization plan for the lower East River corridor in Brown County.
The plan will include a prioritized implementation strategy for restoration activities along the floodplain/shoreland corridor of the East River in the Lower Fox River Basin. It will also detail and rank habitat and water quality focused projects, and potential land protection opportunities for public and natural resource benefits that are designed to improve the fish and wildlife habitats and public enjoyment of the river.
Stay tuned for an announcement of the public informational meeting and survey to gather public input! If you have questions about this project or are interested in receiving more information, please contact Madison Smith.
