Welcome to our new website!
We just redesigned our website, with the help of UW-Madison's Techshop program. Please explore the site and let us know what you think.Lake Health Goal and Coordinated Watershed Planning
FOLW is working to develop a community-based vision for what Lake Wingra can be (based on the best available scientific understanding) and what it should be (based on the needs and desires of the public) by the year 2030. We hope to gain wide community endorsement of a set of practical goals for the health of the lake, then use those goals to establish a plan for getting there. See the draft Lake Health Goals from June 2007.
