Sucker Brook Partnership
Sucker Brook primarily runs through Ozaukee County and drains directly into Lake Michigan just north of Port Washington.
Local residents used to see both salmon and trout in the brook and the group hopes water can be improved enough to once again see more of these fish in Sucker Brook.
The Wisconsin Coastal Management Program and Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources recently provided Ozaukee County Land and Water Management Department and Cedarburg Science grants to study the health of the Sucker Brook watershed and form a river group.
If you or anyone you know would like to become involved, please contact Andy Holschbach for information about the next Sucker Brook Partnership Meeting.

Lower Sugar River Watershed Association
A committee has been formed and a few events have been held to start the Lower Sugar River Watershed Association. LSRWA describes themselves as, "...local people who love the Sugar River and the rich, productive landscapes of Southern Wisconsin and Northern Illinois that surround the river and its tributary streams, all of which form our watershed and connect us to each other and to the land. We believe the natural assets of our watershed-the deep agricultural soils, forest and wetland habitats, aquatic environments, and wildlife-are integral to our regional economy and culture, and sustain our lives. We believe that these assets would benefit from our collective stewardship, now and into the future."
