Save and expand wetlands to help state with flood control
The recent historic rainfall and flooding in southern Wisconsin came far too soon on the heels of flooding last August. Then, citizens and organizations called for changes in the way we manage our landscapes and waters, but these calls were forgotten once the mud dried.
For the health of our state economy and the health and safety of our citizenry, we must act now, with major state commitments to prevent the recurrence of severe flooding. Wetlands are a critical component of the long-term solution.
