It’s not every day that you can get experts from Fitchburg, Madison, Dane County, Department of Natural Resources, and the University of Wisconsin to work on a project together.  However, that is just what is happening here in the Dunn’s Marsh Neighborhood.
 
The occasion is a presentation and discussion of the Dunn’s Marsh Watershed Master Plan.  The public - that’s all of us in the neighborhood - is cordially invited to attend the workshop. It will run from
 
There’s a lot to learn about the situations affecting the marsh and about proposals that have been made.  Recommendations on many fronts will be reviewed and discussed
·     stormwater, groundwater, water and wastewater,
·     vegetation management and ecological restoration, and
·     recreation.  
·     intergovernmental agreements, grant applications, and the like.
 
 
Draft agenda and further remarks from Fitchburg’s Environmental Engineer, Rick Eilertson:

1. Review/Discuss stormwater, groundwater, water & wastewater recommendations
2. Review/Discuss vegetation management/ecological restoration recommendations
3. Review/Discuss recreational recommendations
4. Review/Discuss recommendations on Intergovernmental Agreements, Grant Applications, etc.

We'll be making several updates to this web page in the upcoming 2-3 months prior to finalizing the recommendations before grant applications are submitted.

Those from outside the neighborhood who are expected to participate in the meeting include:
 
Rick Eilertson, Fitchburg Environmental Engineer

Here’s the challenge - for neighborhood people to at least equal all those coming to talk and learn from us.  Let’s show the “outsiders” that we care about our marsh.

Will you be there?
