Abstract
"Join us to discuss a variety of non-traditional ways that Marathon County Conservation, Planning, and Zoning (CPZ) has utilized to fund and achieve phosphorus and sediment reduction in the Fenwood Creek watershed, a small HUC-12 watershed that flows into the Big Eau Pleine Reservoir, Lake DuBay, and ultimately the Wisconsin River. CPZ has initiated a pilot program in the Fenwood Creek watershed in hopes of implementing this methodology within the larger-scale Big Eau Pleine watershed, which carries at least 30% of the phosphorus load into the Wisconsin River. Through a variety of funding sources and farmer-led initiatives, CPZ is going into its fourth year of implementing a pilot program that has reduced nearly 7,000 pounds of phosphorus. This pilot program is demonstrating a non-traditional method of conservation funding and practice implementation to achieve phosphorus reductions rarely seen through our current, traditional conservation programs.
