Over the winter, many people will consider ways to improve their waterfront properties. Grants are available for some projects that protect the water.
Throughout the summer of 2020, Washburn County’s lake residents were concerned about effects of high water. Simple measures can reduce erosion and protect water quality.
Our purpose is to promote the environmental protection and responsible use of Washburn County surface waters and their attendant wetlands, shorelands and wildlife resources. Please consider supporting the WCLRA in its mission to protect the waterways of Washburn county!
