About Rock River Coalition
Our mission is to educate and provide opportunities for people of diverse interests to work together to improve environmental, recreational, cultural and economic resources of the Rock River Basin.
The Rock River Basin covers nearly 3,800 square miles of South Central Wisconsin. Shaped by the last glacial episode, this rolling landscape was once covered by thick woodlands interspersed with oak-savanna, prairies, wetlands, and numerous streams and lakes.
Rock River Coalition is an organization dedicated to the Rock River Basin for 30 years. Over these many years Rock River Coalition has been working with economic, cultural, recreational, and environmental entities throughout the Rock River Basin to provide events, resources, and facilitate problem solving coalitions related to water quality. We have facilitated shoreline restoration and native rain garden development, storm water control projects, leaf and salt reduction in waterways, river clean-up events, and water trail development, to name a few. Since 2002, RRC has developed and implemented an award-winning volunteer stream monitoring program in the Rock River Basin which provides water quality data to the WI Department of Natural Resources, sewerage districts, lake districts, etc. to assist them in their water quality restoration and improvement efforts. Trained Rock River Coalition stream monitor volunteers perform water quality monitoring in the Rock River Basin counties of Jefferson, Waukesha, Walworth, Rock, Dane, and Dodge County.
