The Crawford County Land Conservation Department proposes to conduct studies and prepare a report with recommendations for the management of oxbow lakes associated with the Wisconsin and Lower Kickapoo Rivers in Crawford County. Major project elements include: 1) collection of baseline water quality and biotic data, 2) identification of upland watershed boundries and land uses, 3) identification of springs and evaluation of their roles in sustaining oxbows, 4) recommend management options to affected government units and agencies.
