PIGEON RIVER PRIORTY WATERSHED PROGRAM
	The Pigeon River Watershed is located in the Sheboygan River Basin geographic management unit encompasses approximately 74 square miles of land in Manitowoc and Sheboygan counties. The Pigeon River originates as numerous spring-fed tributaries and flows south, entering Lake Michigan, north of Sheboygan. The watershed project goals include improving water quality, sediment load reduction, phosphorus reduction, creating riparian areas, improving fish habitat and wildlife habitat improvement. The goals can only be accomplished by contacting landowners and having them voluntarily install conservation practices known as best management practices. If you have any questions or live in the watershed and would like to see if you are eligible please call the office at 920-459-1370.
