The Nature Conservancy in Green Bay Watershed

The Nature Conservancy, Ducks Unlimited, Inc. and the Northeast Wisconsin Land Trust have partnered to protect Green Bay, one of the largest freshwater estuaries in the world. Green Bay covers 2,000 square miles and is one of the most biologically productive regions in the Great Lakes. Coastal wetlands here and across the Great Lakes filter and store runoff, recharge groundwater, reduce erosion and provide critical habitat for a wide variety of birds and fish. Protecting coastal wetlands and habitat in key watersheds supports water quality and wildlife across the Great Lakes Basin.
