Wetlands as Flood Solution Gains Wisconsin Traction

In Ashland and across northwestern Wisconsin floods prompted state action to restore wetlands and flood plains. The Marengo River watershed showcases how natural storage can slow floodwaters, reduce damage, and save money, with a 2024 law funding grants for risk assessment and wetland creation.

Down the Drain series examines wetlands policy across Mississippi River basin

The Gazette collaborates on a regional environmental project that tracks how new laws reshape wetlands health, flood risk, and livelihoods in twelve states. Officials from Ducks Unlimited and Tulane highlight economic benefits of wetlands while cautioning that voluntary restoration alone won’t stop development. A Wisconsin grant model may expand to reduce flood costs downstream if adopted elsewhere.
