History
of the Partner Team -
The Wisconsin St. Croix Basin Partner Team originated in 1998. This team
and others across the state began as part of Department of Natural Resources
initiative to better connect citizens with natural resource issues within
each basin.
Over the years the St. Croix team has seen a metamorphosis. Our team began
with a general partnership approach and no specific focus, the team established
priority issues, learned more about these
issues and how they were being addressed by citizens and agencies within
the Basin. While the team secured grant funding and completed a few educational/planning
projects, the team primarily provided education and agency/citizen information
sharing for its members.
Over
time the team has evolved to a narrower focus. Like other teams, membership
has seen some original members remain and new members have come on board.
The team is presently securing funds for one or two primary objectives
and formulating a plan to manage dollars and coordinate projects. Since
its inception the team has recognized the value of information sharing
among members and agency. At each meeting we continue to set aside time
to provide updates on projects or issues from each member.
