Washburn County Land & Water Resource Management Plan

The County Land and Water Resource Management Planning Program was created through amendments to Chapter 92.10 of the Wisconsin Statutes in Act 27 of the 1997-1999 Biennial Budget Bill. The goal of this planning process was to develop a program that:

  • Rely on a locally led process for plan development and implementation
  • Allow for maximum flexibility with various program grants and funding sources
  • Encourage comprehensive watershed based efforts without excessive planning
  • Require the seamless integration of programs and funding sources
  • Make use of a wide variety of implementation tools
  • Ensure meaningful program evaluation and accountability

This process forged the way for the development of the Washburn County Land & Water Resource Management Plan.

The Washburn County Land & Water Resource Management Plan was developed to guide the Land & Water Conservation Department and other agencies that manage land and provide natural resources education in their efforts to protect water resources.
