Protect. Improve. Restore.
Green Lake
For the sake of Green Lake and those who cherish it,
we strive to improve Green Lake’s water quality through science-based action, diverse partnerships, and community commitment.
We envision a clean, restored, resilient Green Lake.
HOW WE MAKE AN IMPACT: PILLAR PROJECTS
PROJECT:
CLEAN STREAMS
A network of over 140 miles of stream flows into Big Green Lake. Of that, over 56,000 feet of its banks are eroded and actively polluting the lake. That's why we're restoring streams and wetlands.
PROJECT:
GREEN ACRES
Since over 60% of the Green Lake drainage area is agricultural land, we need to vamp up our efforts to make sure that every drop of water flowing off every farm is as clean as possible.
PROJECT:
INVADER DEFENSE
It has become more important than ever before to stop the spread of aquatic invasive species. We remove thousands of pounds of carp year, and staff boat launches, so you can help do your part to keep Green Lake clean.
HOW YOU CAN HELP
“We didn’t inherit Green Lake from our ancestors.
We’re borrowing it from our grandchildren.”
Mike Lehner, multi-generational Green Lake resident
