flood-wi-fieldMADISON, WI - Wisconsin Conservation Voters urges you to support AB 266, which is before the Assembly Committee on Rural Development on Thursday.

As climate change continues to increase extreme weather events, Wisconsin communities need more tools, including wetlands, to help reduce flood risks and damages. AB 266 will fund the creation of flooding demonstration projects in Ashland County to help governments understand how restoring and protecting natural areas can help reduce flooding.
