Regional Water Quality Management Plan Update

Environmental Corridors, Yard Care, and Related Fact Sheets

“Plan on It” is a citizen fact sheet series produced by the University of Wisconsin-Extension working with the Southeastern Wisconsin Regional Planning Commission. Its purposes are to summarize and convey information, broaden avenues for public involvement, and serve as a general reference on important planning matters.

• Environmental Corridors–Lifelines of the Natural Resource Base
• Hard copies of other “Plan on It” fact sheets are available by contacting the Commission offices

Fact sheets in the Yard Care and the Environment series are designed to illustrate principles of environmentally sound yard care. This UW-Extension series provides specific information about pesticides, fertilizers, landscaping, watering and related topics. The fact sheet highlighted below was prepared with Commission assitance. This and other publications can be obtained from your county UW-Extension office. Help is also available there regarding soil testing, pest identification, plant selection and other important items related to yard care and water quality.
