Projects
Lake Wissota Stewardship Project
This initiative focuses on protecting and enhancing Lake Wissota’s natural ecosystem through community-driven efforts. By addressing key environmental challenges like shoreline erosion, water quality, and habitat preservation, the project promotes sustainable solutions to ensure the lake remains a thriving resource for recreation, wildlife, and future generations.
Healthy Lakes Project
The Healthy Lakes Project is aimed at enhancing water quality and natural beauty through shoreline improvements. By implementing practices such as rain gardens, water diversions, rock infiltration pits, and native lakeshore plantings, the project reduces runoff and erosion, contributing to a healthier lake ecosystem. Community involvement has been strong, with residents committing to numerous projects, each eligible for reimbursement up to $1,000. LWIPA continues to promote these practices and apply for future grants to support ongoing efforts.
Clean Boats, Clean Waters
The Clean Boats, Clean Waters Project focuses on preventing the spread of aquatic invasive species through boater education and inspections. By promoting best practices for cleaning, draining, and drying watercraft, the project helps maintain the ecological health and recreational quality of Lake Wissota
