Would you like to learn more about wetlands and how to care for them? 

OWLT and the Wisconsin Wetlands Association invite you to attend Getting to Know Wetlands, a special free event for private wetland landowners on Saturday, October 11 from 1:00 – 4:00 pm.  The event will convene at the Forest Beach Migratory Preserve and will include a tour of two nearby privately-managed wetlands.

At this event, you will:

- Learn more about resources for private wetland landowners, including the new My Healthy Wetland handbook for private wetland landowners

- Meet natural resource professionals who can help you learn about and care for your wetlands

- Meet other landowners in your area who own and care for wetlands

- Share your wetland questions and concerns

We will be holding a wetland workshop for private landowners next spring and will use this opportunity to listen to your questions and concerns.  That way we can plan a spring workshop that answers your questions and concerns, provides information you need, and connects you with the additional tools to help you care for your wetland.

The Agenda

1:00pm   Refreshments and conversation with natural resource professionals who will have information about how they can help you learn about and care for your wetlands

1:30pm   Introductions (hosts and guests) & overview of the My Healthy Wetland handbook for wetland landowners

2:15pm   Tour of wetlands at Forest Beach Migratory Preserve

3:00pm   Tour of nearby privately-owned wetland (we’ll caravan the short distance)

Please help us plan for this workshop by letting us know if you plan to attend. RSVP by calling (262) 338-1794 by October 6^th. 

We will send you a reminder letter as the workshop date approaches with additional information, but for now, please mark your calendar, call us with your RSVP, and make plans to attend. 

This will be a great event that you won’t want to miss.
