Wetland Fact Sheet




Manmade efforts to restore wetlands are never as good as the original wetland lost. The natural water flow regime can only be approximated. The best approach is to preserve what wetlands we have left. The Pewaukee River Partnership works towards this goal. Their projects have not only preserved critical wetland functions, but have improved public access for observation purposes and education. Wetland observation sites in the watershed include: Simmons Woods Park and the Pewaukee River near the Pewaukee Lake Outfall.
This Fact Sheet has been prepared by Lee Trotta (PRP) and Jana Stewart (USGS).
Key: Pewaukee Subwatershed (yellow)
