Uncovering the Effects of Conservation Efforts along the Lower Wisconsin Riverway

Abstract

In this paper we hope to uncover the changes that have occurred in the area due to the passing of the legislation that created the Lower Wisconsin State Riverway. More specifically we will look at how land use regulations aimed at preserving the natural landscape on the Lower Wisconsin Riverway (LWR) have impacted the ways the land is utilized. Additionally, we plan to gauge how these land use changes have affected the local population.
