Conservation Lobby Day



Here I am with Terese Berceau and our Lobby Day group. We met with two legislators ( my other one was Senator Risser) and asked for their support on the four conservation priorities.

Both Risser and Berceau have a 100% track record on conservation issues. So we were there to thank them and ask them to take a leadership role.

Here are the Conservation Priorities for 2010

* Preserve Groundwater: Wisconsin's Buried Treasure: manage Wisconsin's groundwater resources to preserve lakes, streams, wetlands and drinking water supplies.
* Stop Global Warming in Wisconsin: address the threats of global warming in Wisconsin through clean, renewable energy jobs and energy conservation.
* Restore Conservation Integrity: return Wisconsin to an Independent DNR Secretary and a timely appointment of Natural Resource Board members.
* Protect Wisconsin's Drinking Water: protect Wisconsin's drinking water supplies by making sure we safely spread agricultural, municipal, and industrial waste.
