As part of our work promoting wetlands as solutions, WWA provides subject matter expertise and recommendations to various climate-focused discussions. This includes collaborating to help refine the recommendations of various working groups hosted by the Wisconsin Initiative on Climate Change Impacts (WICCI).
This week, the Ashland County Board of Supervisors approved a Hazard Mitigation Plan addendum called, “A Strategy for Natural Flood Management and Climate Resilient Infrastructure in Ashland County.”
Kyle will provide an overview of a natural flood management initiative in the Lake Superior Basin aiming to reduce flood risks and create climate-resilient infrastructure.
WWA and ASFPM hosted a recent workshop with Ashland area road crews, town and county officials, and other stakeholders from the region and state to encourage wetland and floodplain restoration.
Wetland restoration gives us opportunities to respond to climate change impacts and, at the same time, becomes more difficult within a chaotic climate both current and unfolding. How can we navigate these dilemmas?
