Welcome!

Friends of Lake Wingra came together in 1998 with an interest in improving the health of Lake Wingra through coordinated watershed management and by engaging the watershed community in stewardship of the lake and its watershed.

Summary of the 2015 Watershed Management Plan

Our Goal Areas

  • Citizen Stewardship

    Grow present and future generations of watershed stewards.

  • Integrated Watershed Management

    Protect and improve the ‘lake as a system’ through innovative and coordinated management practices.

  • Long-term Monitoring and Research

    Ensure that the information needed to address the mission is available on an ongoing basis.
