Permanent Robinson Creek Assn forms for public water protection
A Monday meeting at Slag Cottage formed a committee to draft a form for a permanent Robinson Creek Assn to champion public interest in the stream. About 30 property owners from Black River Falls, Jackson County, La Crosse, Sparta and Madison attended, naming Grayson Allen Everett Woehrmann and Jerry Hall to the committee. The meeting followed Harrison Fiedlers request to divert 5 000 gallons per minute for cranberry culture, a plan withdrawn with a hearing canceled. The group warned the decision could shift public attitudes on protecting waters amid commercial use and scenic, recreational values, noting Robinson Creek is spring fed and among the state’s finest streams.
