Meeting Highlights
This year's theme was "Wisconsin's Role in Great Lakes Restoration", and we had excellent technical sessions on great lakes topics, as well as surface water and groundwater issues throughout Wisconsin. Our plenary provided national, state and local perspectives on how the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative is providing policy and funding momentum to clean up contaminated sediment, expand fish spawning habitat, control invasives species, and make our beaches safer. Dinner speaker Greg Summers provided a thought-provoking history lesson about environmentalism in the Fox Valleys that generated plenty of philosophical discussion about "all or nothing" environmental debates.
