Long Term Management of ILF Wetland Mitigation Sites

The Wisconsin Wetland Conservation Trust (WWCT) is seeking a contractor to provide long‑term management (LTM) services for its In‑Lieu Fee (ILF) wetland mitigation sites that have already met final performance standards. The work focuses on preserving native vegetation and wetland function through annual invasive‑species control (herbicide treatment and mowing), prescribed burning, and occasional reseeding or other habitat‑enhancing activities. Funding is secured via a non‑wasting endowment, and the LTM phase continues indefinitely for each site. Contractors will be responsible for implementing the management plan, monitoring site conditions, and reporting to WWCT. The effort covers up to 14 restored sites (approximately 850 acres total) across Wisconsin. • Annual invasive‑species control (herbicide application, mowing) • Prescribed burns on a recurring schedule • Occasional reseeding or supplemental planting • Monitoring and reporting on native species cover and wetland function • Coordination with WWCT and compliance with endowment funding guidelines • Work performed perpetually for each site once it enters LTM phase
