Our Impact

Since 1970, Clean Wisconsin has been at the center of every historic environmental victory in Wisconsin.

Moving Forward Together

Defending Wisconsin’s Environment

Starting in the 1970s, Clean Wisconsin brought several foundational lawsuits that established the state’s cornerstone environmental law, Wisconsin’s Environmental Policy Act (WEPA), and we’ve continued to be a leading voice for important environmental protections in the five decades since. We have stopped the construction of coal plants, defeated open-pit mining projects, supported the rise of clean energy, and protected critical wetlands, among many other great victories.

Today, Clean Wisconsin continues to focus on the most important environmental issues affecting out state.
