Through program, policy and plan development, community engagement, program implementation, education and water-related service projects, the Commission and the Office of Lakes and Watersheds work to protect and improve water quality, as well as the scenic, economic, recreational and environmental value of Dane County's water resources. We have a history of bringing people and organizations together from diverse backgrounds. Members of our community share solutions to a variety of challenges within the Watershed Network; such as water quality monitoring, identifying strategic partnerships, capacity building, volunteer coordination and more. Through the Dane County Watershed Network, organizations with a connection to lakes, rivers, streams, wetlands share information and learn from one another. The Dane County Watershed Network strives for the inclusion of of all water-related advocacy groups and partner organizations within the region. A more diverse, multi-faceted approach to collective engagement emphasizes the value in working together to improve both communities and watersheds across Dane County.
