Wisconsin support is growing for the bipartisan federal legislation that reforms antiquated policies within the FEMA National Flood Insurance Program that discourage restoration of degraded floodplains.
Wisconsin Wetlands Association supports this legislation and is thrilled to see Wisconsin represented among the original cosponsors of this legislation.
WWA joined watershed conservation professionals, farmers, engineers, community members, and other watershed conservation enthusiasts from Iowa and Wisconsin to discuss the complexities and challenges of flooding.
Learn more about one of the projects funded by the innovative Pre-Disaster Flood Resilience Grant Program. In the first round of the program, the City of Green Bay received $250,000 for an implementation project.
Given that we don’t own or manage land or plan and implement restoration projects directly, much of our work emphasizes building the capacity of those who do or could engage in wetland conservation work.
