Fall Leaves Can Provide Ongoing Benefits to Lawns & Gardens
Decomposing leaves give off nutrients which can be great for lawns and gardens. It’s not good when extra phosphorous ends up in waterbodies.

This summer WCLRA Board members talked with all candidates for election to the Wisconsin Legislature about environmental issues that affect the waters of Washburn County.
As lakeshore owners and service providers take boats, docks, and rafts out of the water, it’s important for everyone to look for aquatic invasive species.
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!
