Land & Water Resource Management Program (LWRM)

The Sauk County Land and Water Resource Management Program is designed to reduce soil erosion, protect water quality, and conserve the natural resources as outlined in the Land and Water Resource Management plan prepared by the LCD. The program provides cost-share and technical assistance to land owners who install best management practices on their property.

Landowners who are interested in obtaining cost share funds for a particular practice should fill out an LWRM Application and return it to the LCD office. Applications are ranked according to practice cost, priority areas, and environmental benefit. If approved, landowners can receive up to 70% cost sharing for a particular project.
