Donna Sefton Executive Director of Wisconsin Association of Lakes Madison office 800-542-5253 dsefton@execpc.com Description for issue 8: The Wisconsin Lakes Partnership (Wisconsin Association of Lakes, DNR, and UW-Extension) has developed a new 10-year strategy for protecting and restoring Wisconsin lakes. This presentation focuses on how citizens can help carry out the strategy, “Protecting in Partnership: The Legacy of Wisconsin Lakes” by becoming a Friend of Wisconsin Lakes and working with the Wisconsin Association of Lakes in its stewardship to protect the environmental and economic sustainability of our lakes. Jo Seiser Water Resources Consultant with Wisconsin Association of Lakes Stevens Point office 715-342-8020 wal@coredcs.com Description for issues 1 and 2: Margin of Error is a slide program showing the importance of the shallow water and land interface of Wisconsin lakes. This ribbon around lakes is important habitat to plants and animals that live all or some of their life cycle in the water. The presentation by UWEX has examples of local research showing lake changes from development. Susan Tesarik Classification Outreach Coordinator with Wisconsin Association of Lakes Madison office 800-542-5253 stesarik@execpc.com Description for issues 1, 2 and 3: Rampant waterfront development can change the very character of our lakes - from wild and scenic gems to just another piece of suburbia. However, communities have an important opportunity to make wise decisions about the density, pattern, and types of development and recreational use that is accepted at our waters today in order to maintain the character and value of our lakes and streams for tomorrow's children. This presentation covers some of the studies that show impacts of development and ways that we can save the lakes. Description for issue 4: Water Classification provides counties an opportunity to make wise decisions about the density, pattern, and types of development that is accepted at our waters in order to maintain the character and value of our lakes and streams for future generations. So, how'd they do that? This process can be presented as six shoreland management tools. Description for issue 7: Susan can provide a discussion of why counties are choosing to classify their lakes and streams rather than using the historical 'one-size-fits-all' approach for shoreland management, how the process has worked in numerous counties (including how citizens have been involved), and shoreland ordinances which have been implemented to protect water quality, wildlife habitat and natural aesthetics. Description for issue 10: Waterfront property owners can help their lakes greatly by restoring their shorelines with natural vegetation. The result can be beautiful, adding value to your property, as well as beneficial, adding wildlife habitat and pollutant buffering to your lake. This presentation covers some of the basics: why shoreland restoration is helpful to your lake, restoration options, and how to get started.
