UW Extension Lakes

We work with the 766 lake organizations in Wisconsin and coordinate a number of programs and projects to assist those concerned with the future of our lakes. Citizens and professionals work to learn more about lake science through our 25 year old Citizen Lake Monitoring Network. Helping us share information on aquatic invasive species are the watercraft inspectors who are members of the Clean Boats Clean Waters effort. Citizens discover and hone their leadership skills at the Lake Leaders Institute.

We have fallen in love with our lakes, and we are here to support others that suffer from the same affliction. We are the University of Wisconsin-Extension Lakes, a team of education professionals dedicated to preserving our Wisconsin legacy of lakes through education, communication and collaboration.

If you need help with lake and water education, feel free to contact us. We are centrally located in the state, within the College of Natural Resources at the University of Wisconsin - Stevens Point.
