Aquatics and WLFW

Our natural resource conservation programs help people reduce soil erosion, enhance water supplies, improve water quality, increase wildlife habitat, and reduce damage caused by floods and other natural disasters.

WLFW is currently in the process of developing a Framework for Aquatic Ecosystems and Connectivity. FAQs, slides, and a video about this opportunity can be found in the resources below. Updates will be posted as development progresses.
