Join us on Wednesday, January 14 at 4:00 PM for Clean Lakes 101: How is Climate Change Affecting Madison-Area Lakes? presented by Steve Vavrus, Wisconsin State Climatologist, hosted by Clean Lakes Alliance.
About the Event:
The climate in Madison and the rest of Wisconsin has been getting warmer and wetter, directly impacting our lakes and other waterways. Lakes are especially important to us for many reasons, including recreation, aquatic ecology, and our sense of place. Ongoing climate change is affecting our area lakes in many ways by regulating lake levels, ice cover, water quality, and species composition. This presentation will describe how climate affects the Yahara Lakes, how future climate change is likely to impact the lakes, and various climate adaptation strategies to create a more climate-resilient watershed.
Doors for this event open at 3:30 p.m. The program runs from 4 – 5 p.m. A Q/A session will follow the presentation as time allows. Complimentary event parking will be available at The East Side Club. Parking spots fill up quickly and may be limited depending on capacity.
