Description of the Study Area
Chapter II DESCRIPTION OF THE STUDY AREA INTRODUCTION The water-resource and water-resource-related problems of a watershed, as well as the ultimate solutions to those problems, are a function of the human activities within the watershed and of the ability of the underlying natural resource base to sustain those activities. Regional water quality management planning seeks to rationally direct the future course of human actions within the watershed so as to promote the conservation and wise use of the natural resource base. Accordingly, the purpose of this chapter is to describe the natural resource base and the man-made features of the greater Milwaukee watersheds, thereby establishing a factual base upon which the regional water quality management planning process may proceed. This description of the study area is presented in two major sections: the first describes the man-made features; the second describes the natural resource base of the watersheds. REGIONAL AND WATERSHED SETTING OF THE PLANNING AREA The planning area encompasses the greater Milwaukee watersheds within Southeastern Wisconsin, which, as shown on Map 1 in Chapter I of this report, cover approximately 1,127 square miles. About 861 square miles of these watersheds are located within the seven-county Southeastern Wisconsin Region, representing about 32 per- cent of the Region. Within the region, these watersheds include all of the Kinnickinnic River, Menomonee River, Oak Creek, and Root River watersheds, portions of the Milwaukee River watershed, and lands directly tributary to Lake Michigan. In addition, approximately 266 square miles of the greater Milwaukee watersheds, or about 23.6 percent of the study area, are located outside of the Region. -

It is a legacy we hold dear, and a call for stewardship we take very seriously. WelcomeWelcome In caring for this land, we follow in the footsteps of some of nation’s greatest environmentalists; leaders like Aldo Leopold and Gaylord Nelson – original thinkers with a unique connection to this very special place.

Wisconsin's Wildlife Action Plan (2005-2015)
Wisconsin’s Wildlife Action Plan (2005-2015) IMPLEMENTATION: Priority Conservation Actions & Conservation Opportunity Areas Prepared by: Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources with Assistance from Conservation Partners, June 30th, 2008 06/19/2008 page 2 of 93 Wisconsin’s Wildlife Action Plan (2005-2015) IMPLEMENTATION: Priority Conservation Actions & Conservation Opportunity Areas Acknowledgments Wisconsin’s Wildlife Action Plan is a roadmap of conservation actions needed to ensure our wildlife and natural communities will be with us in the future. The original plan provides an immense volume of data useful to help guide conservation decisions. All of the individuals acknowledged for their work compiling the plan have a continuous appreciation from the state of Wisconsin for their commitment to SGCN. Implementing the conservation actions is a priority for the state of Wisconsin. To put forward a strategy for implementation, there was a need to develop a process for priority decision-making, narrowing the list of actions to a more manageable number, and identifying opportunity areas to best apply conservation actions. A subset of the Department’s ecologists and conservation scientists were assigned the task of developing the implementation strategy. Their dedicated commitment and tireless efforts for wildlife species and natural community conservation led this document.

Niagara Escarpment, a Natural Wonder in Wisconsin
Niagara Escarpment, A Natural Wonder in Wisconsin Sheboygan Press 7-2-3016 Eastern Wisconsin is graced with a number of rare geographic features that create a dream landscape for outdoor enthusiasts. We have the Kettle Moraine which runs the length of western Sheboygan County. We have Lake Michigan, a veritable inland sea, which forms the eastern boundary of the county. And we have the Niagara Escarpment. Though lesser known, it is equally impressive in the things it offers in the areas of science, history and education. The escarpment is actually a cuesta which is defined as a ridge with a gentle slope on one side and a steep slope on the other. It extends about 250 miles through the area beginning with a few isolated outcrops in Waukesha County on the south. The ridge then disappears under glacial sediment until it re-emerges in Dodge County. Well exposed in Fond du Lac County, and locally known as the Ledge, it is best seen in the area of St. Mary’s Hill on Highway 23 just east of the city of Fond du Lac. In Calumet County, it is most visible at the northeastern end of Lake Winnebago near Sherwood. From there it continues into Brown County and winds northeast along Green Bay and up the west side of the Door County peninsula. Disappearing under the Great Lakes, it remerges in Ontario, and continues on into New York State where it forms the steep drop that is Niagara Falls. Contrary to popular belief, the Niagara Escarpment is not a fault line or the result of glaciation. -

Annual Report Welcome 2019
2019 ANNUAL REPORT WELCOME 2019 Dear Friends, Curiosity: It’s the driving force behind science, and it’s one of the founding emotions that shape humans’ interaction with the world. This year during the ninth annual Wisconsin Science Festival, more than 30,000 stoked their curiosity at more than 300 events statewide! Once again, hundreds of businesses, schools, universities, civic groups, libraries and museums joined together to make the festival a reality. Powered by the sponsors who make the festival financially possible, the festival’s reach included more cities and counties than ever before. Numbers, however, don’t adequately describe the impact that the festival’s grassroots network of partners have on Wisconsin. That story is illustrated by the faces of youth who experience STEM in ways they had never imagined before attending a festival expo, it unfolds during conversations between scientists and patrons at your local pub, and it continues to expand as we all explore the ways that science is everywhere in our lives. October 15, 2020, will kick off the tenth Wisconsin Science Festival. We can’t wait to keep writing that story of curiosity with you! Yours in curiosity, Laura Heisler Director, Wisconsin Science Festival Director of Programming, Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation Director of Outreach, Morgridge Institute for Research #WiSciFest | WiSciFest.org About the Wisconsin Science Festival The Wisconsin Science Festival is a statewide celebration of science, technology, engineering, art and math. With events encompassing hands-on science exhibitions, demonstrations, performances, pub nights, workshops and more, the festival truly offers something for everyone. We aim to inspire and engage everyone in the enterprise of science and discovery; to cultivate curiosity; to communicate the power of knowledge and creativity to change our world view; to promote innovation and to cultivate the next generation of global citizens. -
