Your participation and input are welcomed to ensure this plan considers the range of perspectives regarding the watershed.The Stakeholder Group will assist the Southeastern Wisconsin Regional Planning Commission (SEWRPC) staff in development of the Oak Creek Watershed RestorationPlan.

It is anticipated that the Stakeholder Group will meet six times during the approximately 2.5 year plan preparation period. These meetings are open to the general public and will be held in the early evening. Notices of the Stakeholder Group meetings will continue to be sent out by the Root-Pike Watershed Initiative Network, which is an outreach partner for the study.
