Here you'll find info, surveys, and updates related to VLAWMO's upcoming 2027-2036 Watershed Management Plan.
At the Vadnais Lake Area Water Management Organization (VLAWMO), we’re currently engaged in updating our 10-year Watershed Management Plan (Plan). The year of 2024 started by gathering feedback that will be incorporated into the next generation plan. The planning phase allows for time to hear from our many stakeholders, convene multiple types of engagement activities, and incorporate what we hear. The new Plan will guide our projects and programs from 2027-2036.
Public engagement is important in helping us understand and focus priorities for improving our local water resources.
Our goal is to make participation accessible and convenient. Those who live, work, and visit the watershed are invited to contribute. Check back here throughout the two-year planning process for updates such as talks and presentations that provide updates on the planning process as well as results of the community input.
Survey closed March 13 at 10 am. Survey results are currently being assembled and summarized.
Virtual Coffee Chats and the Initial Planning meeting have been completed. There are no current events on the calendar at this time but future opportunities will be posted here.
Survey stations closed on March 13. VLAWMO thanks everyone who participated and contributed to the survey.
The upcoming 2027-2036 Watershed Management Plan will be VLAWMO’s third plan since the Minnesota Surface Water Management Act was enacted in 1982. Check out the following resources for more context on how Watershed Management Plans guide our work and in turn benefit the community.
