I Stand Against Wild Rose Expansion!

 

Please click above to complete email petition to protect the Driftless Region streams and creeks from the expansion of the Wild Rose Dairy. Wild Rose Dairy is currently seeking a permit to double the amount of cattle on its site. Dairy Rose has already had several manure spills at its current location which have resulted in contaminated creeks and over 1,000 dead trout. This site also sits on Karst geology which is vulnerable to sinkholes.  Please use this form to send an email directly to the Wisconsin DNR asking them to stop the expansion. Wild Rose threatens our local economy, water, land and health.  We need to send the DNR a message that we believe expansion of the Wild Rose is a threat to the Driftless region.  

Form emails are just one tool we can use to stop this expansion.  Please take a moment to write a hand written letter of postcard voicing your concerns as well. Letters and postcards have more impact then form emails.  Please send letters and postcards to the address below. The deadline for written statements is Oct. 20th so please send your comments TODAY.

Eric Struck, DNR,

Fitchburg, WI, 53711-5367
