Fox-Wolf Watershed Alliance is an award-winning organization, doing work in Northeast Wisconsin to protect and restore our waters.

This April, our Trash Free Waters program received the Ed Thompson Liberty Award from the Libertarian Party of Wisconsin for the valuable work we do in the community. This award recognizes that Trash Free Waters inspires and empowers local volunteerism on a significant scale.

The Trash Free Waters program offers targeted campaigns, cleanup events, and education to help prevent and reduce litter. The annual Watershed Cleanup deploys over 1,500 volunteers at over 60 sites in the Fox-Wolf River basin. In 2022, volunteers at the Cleanup picked up over 8,400 pounds of trash.

Fox-Wolf is an independent non-profit organization, and our work relies on cultivating a broad base of partnerships. This collaboration allows us to take a holistic approach to watershed management, bringing together individuals, businesses, farmers, government agencies, and city/county staff.
