Project: Rome Pond
County: Jefferson
Project Start Date: 02/01/2016
Project End Date: 02/01/2018

A huge shout-out, thanks and nice work goes out to our Waukesha County and Twin Rivers/Jefferson area chapters who combined their volunteer efforts to adopt Rome Pond Wildlife Area in the Spring of 2016 through the WI DNR’s Adopt a Wildlife Area program. This new program rolled out through the DNR solicits volunteer groups to help improve the quality of our public lands. These WWA chapters will donate 100 volunteer hours to improve a Wildlife Area in their neighborhood at the Rome Pond unit, which consists of nearly 2,600 acres.

WWA volunteers began their work by cleaning, repairing, replacing and adding over a dozen Wood Duck nesting structures.  The chapters will also work to remove old duck blinds and other water debris as well as clean up and improve the parking areas around this public land throughout the year.  Their first Clean Up Day will be held on April 23rd.

Signage supplied by the WDNR will be going up in the Wildlife Area to recognize their efforts as well.
