Douglas County Land & Water Conservation Department is sponsoring a multi-year project to implement the St. Croix Headwaters watershed plan. The project will fund a Watershed Stewardship Coordinator; coordinate project activities including a Watershed Advisory Panel, and implement shoreland health best practices throughout the watershed (i.e. southern Douglas and Bayfield Counties). Project deliverables include: 1) Headwaters Watershed Advisory Panel: participation and recommendations; 2) 5-year Action Plan; 3) Summary of watershed report/project tool dissemination and ordinance updates or changes; 4) Information and education summary or examples of products (e.g. brochures, powerpoint presentations) and workshops/events with detail on types and numbers of audiences reached; 5) Installed best practices, including rain gardens, runoff infiltration practices, fish sticks, shoreline restoration, land protection agreements, etc. These practices will be documented in a database or spreadsheet that includes property location and completed project photos; 6) Shoreline inventory database and maps that describe habitat status of selected lakes.
