Activities of Cedar Lakes Conservation Foundation continue to make significant contributions to the preservation and protection of fragile wetlands, woodlands and natural areas in Washington County -- one of the most rapidly developing areas in the state of Wisconsin. Cumulatively, approximately 2,000 acres of pristine land has been permanently protected, creating a lasting legacy of natural beauty that will remain undeveloped for the benefit of future generations. And, it's not just any land. CLCF's area of concentration includes the headwaters and watersheds of Gilbert Lake, Big Cedar Lake, Little Cedar Lake, and Cedar Creek. These watersheds drain into the Milwaukee River and eventually reach Lake Michigan.
During
31 years of operation, in excess of 85,000 native trees and other
plant species have been planted, storm water retention ponds have been
constructed, and annual educational events have been hosted by CLCF. Of
significance, the DNR and other local governmental units enthusiastically
attest to the positive impact CLCF has had on the improvement of water
quality in the local lakes and surrounding watershed areas. Participation in
the work of CLCF is at an all-time high and committed volunteers generated
by the organization continue to engage in many worthwhile projects.
Experienced CLCF volunteers mentor new recruits, including youth groups, to
develop the next generation of conservationists.
