“A river is the report card for its watershed”

The Lower Fox Watershed in northeast Wisconsin is an area that is filled with a rich history. From the very beginning, residents of the watershed utilized the surrounding land and waterways; however, as a result the area is currently cleaning up the Fox River, the largest waterway of the watershed, with the hope to get the area back to its natural state.
