SUPERIOR — Northwest Wisconsin Lakes Conference is celebrating a 25-year partnership among lake and river advocates, conservation organizations, natural resource agencies and the University of Wisconsin Extension this year.
Together, they encourage lake stewardship throughout Northwest Wisconsin.
Every year the Northwest Wisconsin Lakes Conference provides an opportunity to learn about lake ecology; updates on invasive species; and provides an opportunity for people involved in protecting water quality a chance to network. This year’s education conference runs from 9 a.m. to 3:45 p.m. June 23 at Spooner High School.
The conference kicks off with a celebration of the partnership’s history and features Christian Cold, Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources wildlife educator, as the keynote speaker. Cold shares knowledge gained during his 30-plus year career, often with wild or rehabilitated companions.
The remainder of the event will be filled with state and local experts who offer a variety of presentations on topics affecting lakes everywhere.
