River Alliance of Wisconsin believes in the power of grassroots action. It is a core part of our work to engage people in activities that inspire water stewardship.
It starts with getting involved with your local water protection organizations. When River Alliance steers resources and technical support to local groups, they become stronger grassroots advocates for clean water. Visit our Local Groups page to find an organization in your community
We believe that it’s our government’s job to safeguard water for the health of people and our environment. That’s why we work to hold public agencies accountable for enforcing pollution laws.
Our staff and volunteer leaders are experts in pollution and agriculture laws. They make River Alliance a credible voice on water policy and public engagement.
River Alliance of Wisconsin has a vision for a better way to protect our water. With passion and determination, we are leaders in guiding Wisconsin’s environmental protection efforts toward preventing problems instead of just responding to them.
Our Wisconsin Water Agenda is a big-picture perspective on better ways to protect water in our state. Our Wisconsin Agricultural Agenda includes meaningful policy goals for sustainable farming and food systems. We work with county leaders to pass Clean Water Now resolutions that affirm the right to clean water for all.
Wednesday, October 30, 8 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. Institute for Discovery at UW-Madison, 330 N Orchard St., Madison
