Project: Rome Pond Wildlife Area
County: Jefferson
On June 1st, WWA Volunteers Mike Alaimo (pictured below at right, Waukesha County 
Chapter) and TJ Schnulle (pictured at left, Twin Rivers/Jefferson County Chapter) met with WDNR Wildlife Tech Adam Holcomb and WDNR Wildlife Biologist Sam Jonas to place signage at six parking lots within the Rome Pond Wildlife Area.
WWA is among the very first organizations in the state to participate in the WDNR Adopt A Wildlife Area program, with the Twin Rivers and Waukesha County Chapters teaming up to adopt the Rome Pond Wildlife Area, earlier this year.
On Saturday, April 23rd, twenty-one volunteers, with 9 boats, joined together and pulled out more than 25 boat loads of debris, some of it shown, below, out of the public hunting areas, from old blinds, to trash, to broken down nesting structures. To see their detailed report to the DNR, click here.
This program is a terrific way for WWA volunteers to be able to do work outside, to “get their hands dirty”, and really make a difference on the landscape, in areas that are important to them personally, as well as to a wide swath of the sporting public. If you are interested in potentially working with WWA on this sort of program, in an area near you, please fill out our volunteer form.
