Agricultural Environmental Management Systems: Tools to Support Implementation of Community Source Water Protection Plans
Presented by: Elizabeth Bird and Gary Jackson, University of Wisconsin-Madison

Many communities are faced with the need to obtain the cooperation of agricultural land managers to successfully implement their source water protection plans. Developing effective public participation and outreach education programs is an essential component to successful implementation efforts. This presentation will present Farm*A*Syst/Home*A*Syst related case studies to describe what has worked and what has not. Audience participation will enhance discussion on the identification of key audiences, methods of involving those audiences, and options to address obstacles that limit building successful partnerships. The goal of this session is to educate participants on approaches to working with the agricultural community to develop partnerships that support the implementation of community source water protection plans.
