The Town of Plum Lake comprehensive lake management planning project is complete. The report and plan that resulted from the three-phase project has been approved by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources.

The Lakes Committee is pleased to announce the final Town Lakes Management Plan.  We received comments on the draft plan in July of 2022 and those comments have been considered in the final plan.  

The report and plan was the result of a three-phase project supported by grants from the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources.  The plan will guide the Lakes Committee in their focus for conservation actions in future years.

The directory for the report is shown below.  A printed copy of the report is available for reference at the Town Office or from Bob Jackson, Chair of the Lakes Committee.
