The DNR invites the public to participate in Wisconsin Water Week by attending the 2022 Wisconsin Lakes and Rivers Convention April 6-8.

Gov. Tony Evers declared April 4-10 Wisconsin Water Week to showcase the value of clean water for all Wisconsin residents and to acknowledge the state’s efforts to protect our recreational waters, invest in conservation and ensure clean, usable water for all Wisconsinites.

The theme of the 2022 Wisconsin Lakes and Rivers Convention is “Protecting What We Love for the Future.” This year’s event will be held in-person in Stevens Point, with the option to attend virtually.

The convention brings together DNR staff members and water resources partners from around the Midwest to speak on a range of water science and conservation issues. This year’s speakers include DNR Deputy Secretary Sarah Barry who will kick-off the convention; Charlie Wooley, regional director of U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service Midwest; and Chad Pregracke, founder and president of Living Lands & Waters, an environmental organization dedicated to water conservation.

Hands-on workshops and presentations will be centered around the theme of protecting our water resources. View the entire schedule: https://www.eventleaf.com/e/wisconsinlakesandriversconvention#ss

The Wisconsin Lakes and Rivers Convention is hosted by the Wisconsin Lakes Partnership. This partnership has three core partners: DNR, Extension Lakes Program at UW-Stevens Point, and Wisconsin Lakes.
