Conservation Practice Spotlight! Not every ag acre is the same.
Retiring difficult-to-farm and low-yielding field acres to perennial conservation like prairie plantings can give these acres a new lease on life in their golden years (and improve farm economics). Shifting these acres to prairie plantings helps improve water quality by slowing and filtering runoff and provides wildlife with habitat and food, all while helping make profitable acres more productive.

We need your help! Local Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) staff and partners are organizing a volunteer based round goby monitoring effort in Winnebago System waters. In order to gain insight on the status of round goby in Winnebago System waters, we are recruiting volunteer anglers to fish for round goby at several locations around the system. The event will occur on Monday, September 21st, from 3 to 7 PM. Volunteer sign up is free but advanced sign up is preferred.

As summer comes to a close, it's time to drain those swimming pools. Don't forget, most municipalities have rules that pool owners must follow regarding the disposal of any water treated with chemicals.

-Dechlorinate: Let your pool or hot tub water sit for at least one week without adding chemicals. Wait until chlorine or bromine levels are undetectable.
-Test pH: Make sure the water pH level is between 6.5 and 8.5.
-Discharge to Land: Release the water slowly onto your grass or landscaping so the earth cleans it naturally.
-Prevent Runoff: Never let pool water flow directly onto a neighbor's property, into a street gutter, or straight into a storm drain.

Find out what the rules are where you live to ensure our waterways and water sources are kept clean.

Join us for a shoreline planting maintenance volunteer day this Thursday, September 3rd, from 8 to 10ish in the morning. We'll meet at the parking lot next to the Whiting Boathouse and head into Doty Park together.

No experience needed. Just show up ready to get your hands a little dirty and help keep our native shoreline plants healthy.

Shoot us a quick email at [email protected] to RSVP. That way we'll know to bring enough supplies, and we can reach you if the weather forces us to reschedule.

Hope to see you there!

From quiet river bends to wide open lake views, the Fox Wolf Basin holds some of the most beautiful and accessible water in Wisconsin. This series highlights the parks, harbors, and shorelines that make our watershed worth exploring, one great location at a time.

Congratulations to Jim Luedtke, a 2026 Fox-Wolf IMPACT Award winner! A fourth-generation farmer, Jim has spent years proving that conservation and productive farming go hand in hand through no-till and cover-crop practices on his NRCS Upper Fox-Wolf Demonstration Farm.
But Jim's impact reaches well beyond his own fields. As a founding member and president of the Muddy Bottom Farmers Producer-Led Watershed Group, he's helping build a culture of farmers learning from farmers, turning real questions into on-farm research that protects the soil and water of the Fox-Wolf Basin.

Join us in celebrating Jim and this year's honorees at our Happiest Hour on October 1st at Plamann Park in Appleton. We'd love to see you there! Tickets: https://fox-wolf.org/happiest-hour/

Yesterday, some of our staff spent time at Jefferson Park helping with tornado cleanup organized by Volunteer Fox Cities.

Cleanup efforts are still underway following last month’s storm, and we were grateful for the chance to help. Thank you to Volunteer Fox Cities for coordinating the effort and bringing volunteers together.

The health of Northeast Wisconsin’s economy is closely tied to the health of its water, and Insight Publications has helped bring that connection to a wider audience.

Through its reporting, Insight has made space for water and sustainability in the regional business conversation. It has shared the work happening across our communities and helped more people see why healthy waterways matter to the future of Northeast Wisconsin.

Join us October 1st to celebrate their work and this year’s IMPACT Award winners.
