    About Us

    Working together across boundaries

     Founded in 2010, the Wisconsin Headwaters Invasives Partnership (WHIP) is a nonprofit cooperative of 16 partners who share resources to offer invasive species education and manage invasive species in Oneida, Vilas, and Lincoln Counties.  Working across jurisdictional boundaries, we are a network of county, state, and federal government agencies, plus private citizens, schools, and more.

    Mission

    The Wisconsin Headwaters Invasives Partnership (WHIP) is dedicated to the conservation of the native species, habitats and landscapes of Lincoln, Oneida, and Vilas Counties in north-central Wisconsin. WHIP recognizes the threat of invasive species and will work cooperatively to provide education, monitoring and invasive species control.

    Structure

    WHIP operates under a Steering Committee of representatives from our partners, and employs a Coordinator to secure grant funding and implement project deliverables.  Our fiscal agent is the Lumberjack RC&D Council, a nonprofit group working to conserve natural resources in northeastern Wisconsin.

    Lumberjack RC&D Council

     Since 2010, WHIP has been fiscally sponsored by Lumberjack RC&D Council, Inc., a multi-county, nonprofit based in Rhinelander, WIsconsin. This group is comprised of elected members serving on county Land Conservation Committees, and meets quarterly.

    Lumberjack's Mission

    For more than 50 years, the Lumberjack group has worked to enhance area natural resources, promote a higher standard of living and improve the quality of life for area citizens by fostering  partnerships between public and private sectors and strategically investing in area natural resources.
