OCLRA's mission is to protect and preserve the quality and riparian habitat of the inland waters of Oneida County by serving as an advocate and an information source for, and a  communication link among lake and river associations and districts, county and ​local government, and the public.

The organization states that OCLRA and its lake association and individual members will strongly oppose any project that presents a significant threat to our surface waters or groundwater, whether from mining, concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs) or any other source. The position statement can be read in full at the website.

 Protecting Your Shoreline - Oneida County Land and Water Conservation (oclw.org) 

The Land and Water Conservation Department (LWCD), works in cooperation with a committee of elected supervisors to conserve the land and water resources in Oneida County, and meet local soil, water and related natural resource priorities. Healthy lakes and habitat improve every aspect of life in the Northwoods, from fisheries to recreation to tourism to choosing real estate! Using proactive conservation planning, we can successfully manage our clean air, soil, and water, so that our region will be a better and healthier place for future generations of Oneida County residents.

Wisconsin’s Green Fire supports the conservation legacy of Wisconsin by promoting science-based management of Wisconsin’s natural resources.  Voices for Conservation was established in 2017 in response to recent developments at the state and national level that threaten science-based practices and long-term vision in natural resources  management. Once regarded as a national leader in conservation, Wisconsin’s proudtradition of dedicated stewardship of its land, waters, and wildlife has been severely compromised. A new organization, Wisconsin’s Green Fire: Voices for Conservation (WGF), now seeks to reclaim that tradition of leadership for a new generation, providing the research that will help preserve the state’s clean water, clean air, and healthy ecosystems.

The  mission of Gathering Waters Wisconsin’s Alliance for Land Trusts' is to  help land trusts, landowners and communities protect the places that  make Wisconsin special. The organization helps protect Wisconsin’s  special places and grow healthy, vibrant communities by strengthening  Wisconsin’s land trusts.

    Gathering Waters strengthens Wisconsin’s land trusts by advocating for  funding and policies that support land conservation and fostering a  community of practice that promotes land trust excellence and  advancement.

     GW notes that the value of this work can be measured in the thousands  of jobs and billions of dollars generated annually through tourism,  outdoor recreation, forestry and agriculture; residents have cleaner air  and water because of protected wetlands and forests; plants and animals  are more resilient to changing conditions; and outdoor places and  adventures are available close to home, accessible to people from all  walks of life, ages and interests.

Our Organization — Northwood Alliance

The Northwoods Alliance, Inc (NWA) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit and a 509(a)(2) public charity. Started in 1981 as an environmental organization opposing the placement of a nuclear waste depository in the Midwest, Northwoods Alliance has its roots in protecting the land. We are committed to land conservation for the economic, social and intrinsic values to the public, as well as the immense ecological value. 

Today our primary focus is the conservation of land and the protection of water in the border lakes region and the Lake Superior watershed. We actively seek out long-term protection for large properties that provide outdoor recreational opportunities, intact habitat for terrestrial and aquatic species, and an opportunity for sustainable resource management. In particular, we emphasize habitat for threatened or endangered species, and sensitive ecosystems such as old growth forests, lakes, streams, and wetlands. As a necessary good to society, we embrace sustainable forest management, as well as appreciate wilderness and wildlife habitat, and we strive for safe public recreation.
