Crawford Stewardship Project

Crawford Stewardship Project is grateful for the generous support of the Wisconsin Community Fund.

"CAFOs are only profitable because so much of the cost and damage is externalized onto the environment, neighbors and wildlife. The monitoring, supervision, clean-up, restitution, fines are not happening, thus the true cost of CAFOs never find the way onto the balance books." Talking point from the CAFO Conference.

			Crawford Stewardship Project works to protect the environment of Crawford County from threats such as those posed by concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs) and to promote sustainable land use, local control of natural resources, and environmental justice.

Water Quality and CAFO Monitoring Monitoring water quality around CAFOs rests on the shoulders of citizens. We are in the process of working with a state coalition Sustain Rural Wisconsin Network (SRWN), and other organizations to create a citizen monitoring program in Crawford County that can be used throughout the state, much like the Michigan Sierra Club is creating in their state. Presently three CSP citizen volunteer teams monitor water quality at three locations adjacent to the CAFO using protocal that meets state monitoring requirements.
