What is WEPP’s Citizen Monitoring Network?
UW Extension has established a network of partner organizations in southeast Wisconsin, such as conservation groups, nature centers and educators, to assist in meeting WEPP’s goals. Each Partner provides training and support for volunteer citizen monitors who are interested in exploring ephemeral ponds and documenting their characteristics. The Network enables citizen monitors from different areas to share information and learn from each other. We hope the Network will also improve public awareness to build a stewardship ethic for protecting these fragile areas in southeastern Wisconsin and, over time, across the state.
