Monitoring Award Winner
The Pewaukee River Partnership has been named as the winner of the 2007 Wisconsin Stream Award in the organized group category. This award is sponsored by the University of Wisconsin-Extension, the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources and the Water Action Volunteers (WAV) Program.
Through out the State of Wisconsin, local citizens are involved in monitoring the health of their streams and rivers. Over the past two years the 23 PRP volunteers have monitored the Pewaukee River as well as Coco Creek, Zion Creek and Meadowbrook Creek for approximately 130 times. The resulting information has been entered into the WAV database to be used by the DNR as well as PRP to improve our waters.
Presentation of the award will be made at the next Pewaukee River Partnership meeting on Thursday, March 22, 2007.
