Wisconsin Wetland Study Council
The Wetland Study Council has been working together on wetland issues in Wisconsin since 2019. The Council was created in 2017 Wisconsin Act 183 and is made up of nine members who are appointed by the Governor to six-year terms. The Act requires the Council to research and make recommendations on a variety of wetland issues. The Council is staffed by the Department of Natural Resources.
The Wetland Study Council plans to meet from 9:00-11:00 am on the second Thursday of each odd month in 2023: Jan. 12, Mar. 9, May 11, Sept. 14, and Nov. 9. There will not be a meeting in July. Visit the DNR Public Meetings webpage for details and meeting agendas.
