ABOUT THIS TALK
The Door Creek subwatershed is a significant contributor of phosphorus and sediment to the Yahara River Basin. For decades, the Dane County Land and Water Resources Department has worked with partners across the watershed to reduce these contributions and to improve and protect natural resources. Join us to learn about the history of investigation, planning, and on-the-ground actions to improve water quality in the watershed. The presentation will also feature the County’s recent “Suck the Muck” project and restoration efforts in Door Creek and the Door Creek Wildlife Area.
