Water Action Volunteers Fund

With over 45,000 miles of wadeable streams and rivers in Wisconsin, WAV volunteers play a critical role by expanding on the work of professional biologists, ensuring that more of our waters can be regularly monitored and protected.

Your contributions to the Water Action Volunteers Program support our mission to provide free stream trainings, water quality monitoring equipment, and lifelong learning opportunities that engage people of all ages in the monitoring and stewardship of our state’s beautiful streams and rivers.
