Welcome to the Sauk River Watershed District

It is the mission of Sauk River Watershed District to apply our unique abilities and authorities in ways that protect and enhance our watershed's resources for today and tomorrow.

It is the vision of the Sauk River Watershed District to protect and enhance our natural resources by increasing public awareness and involvement.  The District board and staff will utilize its unique authorities to expand projects and programs through technical assistance to identify impaired waters and establish TMDL's.  The District will continue to pursue financial assistance for the general public to implement Best Management Practices (BMP's) and also to continue to provide support to project partners technically and financially.  The District will be wise stewards of our natural resources and will work along side our partners to leave the water quality better for future generations.
 

SRWD Board meetings are held on the third Tuesdays of each month at 6 p.m. at the Sauk River Watershed District Office (map & directions).  In the event of a Holiday or Caucus, district meetings will be held on the following night. Meeting minutes and agendas can be found here. Check out our most recent Press Releases and Official Notices!		What's New at the SRWD?
