SUMMARY:Yahara Lakes 101: Suck the Muck at Token Creek
DESCRIPTION:Yahara Lakes 101 “Suck the Muck” Edition with Dane County Executive Joe Parisi\n\n\n\nYahara Lakes 101 is taking a field trip! Register today to join us for this educational event at Token Creek County Park. \n\n\n\nREGISTER HERE\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nAbout this Talk\n\n\n\nDane County’s “Suck the Muck” project has received a lot of exciting attention over the past year for their legacy sediment removal in Dorn Creek where they have removed three to four feet of sediment since 2016. Now on the second phase of the project\, Dane County will begin the program in Token Creek. \n\n\n\nIn this month’s Yahara Lakes 101 talk\, we’ll hear from Dane County Executive Joe Parisi and Assistant Director of Land & Water Resources John Reimer about the project expansion. Attendees will get to see the phosphorus-laden sediment islands firsthand and learn about the removal process. Ultimately\, this project will divert thousands of pounds of phosphorus from entering our lakes. \n\n\n\nAbout our Speakers\n\n\n\nCounty Executive Joe Parisi has called Dane County home his entire life. Parisi sought out public service as a way to give back to a community that has given so much to him. Parisi was first elected as County Executive\, the chief elected leader of Dane County\, in 2011 after 6 years in the State Assembly and 8 years as Dane County Clerk. \n\n\n\nParisi’s priority is to ensure that everyone in our community has access to the opportunity to succeed. He believes investing in people pays big dividends. Parisi knows this can work because he experienced it. As a teenager\, Parisi dropped out of high school. He was encouraged to return to education through a community program by people who believed in him. So he worked to earn his GED and went on to MATC (now Madison College) and graduated from UW-Madison with a degree in sociology. Now Parisi believes it is his turn to give back to ensure that our children’s generation has access to the same opportunities that were available to him. \n\n\n\nJohn Reimer is the Assistant Director of the Dane County Land & Water Resources Department. His technical background has focused on modeling and analysis of watersheds\, rivers\, and lakes. Reimer is responsible for lake level management including aquatic plant harvesting and operation of the three dams in the Yahara Chain of Lakes. \n\n\n\nEvent Details: Field Trip Edition!\n\n\n\nThis event is held at Token Creek County Park on Token Creek Lane (see map below). Check in will open at 4:30 p.m. with a presentation and walking tour from 5 – 6:30 p.m. \n\n\n\nThe event will be held outdoors on grassy terrain. Walking will be required. Attendees should dress for the weather and bring bug spray. Parking is available at multiple parking lots along Token Creek Lane but may require some walking to the event site. \n\n\n\nAdmission is FREE for all attendees. Online registration is requested. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nYahara Lakes 101 Lecture Series\n\n\n\nYahara Lakes 101 is a series of educational events open to the public and a great chance for residents to learn more about the science behind the issues that affect our lakes. Each month we feature a different expert to make the science accessible and interesting to non-technical audiences. \n\n\n\nThe series is produced in partnership with the UW-Madison Nelson Institute for Environmental Studies\, with presenting sponsors First Weber Foundation and Johnson Financial Group\, monthly sponsor PCI Dredging\, hosting sponsor The Edgewater\, supporting sponsor National Guardian Life Insurance Company\, and media partner the Isthmus.

SUMMARY:Yahara Lakes 101 with Steve Vavrus
DESCRIPTION:Yahara Lakes 101: Climate Change & Lake Impacts\n\n\n\nJoin us at Yahara Lakes 101 to learn about important issues impacting our lakes! \n\n\n\nREGISTER HERE\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the talk\n\n\n\nOur climate is changing. But what are the impacts of climate change on our local communities\, individual lives\, and lakes? \n\n\n\nIn this month’s Yahara Lakes 101 talk\, we’ll hear from Steve Vavrus of the UW-Madison Nelson Institute for Environmental Studies about the impacts of ongoing climate change on our lakes. Although lakes provide recreation\, ecosystem services\, and a sense of place to many Wisconsin residents\, they are at risk. This presentation will highlight effects on our lakes including lake levels\, ice cover\, water quality\, and invasive species. \n\n\n\nAbout our speaker\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSteve Vavrus is a Senior Scientist in the Nelson Institute Center for Climatic Research at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. He is also the faculty program coordinator of the Yahara Watershed Academy. Steve uses computer climate models to understand how climate is changing across the Earth\, including Wisconsin and the Great Lakes region. Extreme weather events are an important theme of his research\, particularly how they might be affected by climate change. Steve serves as co-director of the Wisconsin Initiative on Climate Change Impacts (WICCI) and is a member of its Climate Working Group. He has a long-standing interest in lake ice and has modeled how weather and climate variations affect ice cover on our Madison-area lakes. \n\n\n\n\n\nEvent Details\n\n\n\nThis event is at The Edgewater. Come at 7:30 a.m. for a meet-and-greet and to enjoy your coffee\, pastries\, and fruit. The program begins at 8 a.m.\, and class is dismissed by 9 a.m. Complimentary event parking will be available at The Edgewater. \n\n\n\nAdmission is FREE for 2019 Friends of Clean Lakes and Lake Partners.

SUMMARY:Yahara Lakes 101 with Paul Hanson
DESCRIPTION:Lake Mendota Phosphorus and Our Water Quality Woes\n\n\n\nJoin us at Yahara Lakes 101 to learn about important issues impacting our lakes! \n\n\n\nREGISTER TODAY\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the talk\n\n\n\nLake Mendota is a beautiful and beloved waterbody in the Greater Madison Area. Thanks to the UW Center for Limnology\, Lake Mendota has been called the most studied lake in the U.S.  \n\n\n\nBelow the surface\, Lake Mendota is a dynamic and ever-changing ecosystem. In this month’s Yahara Lakes 101 talk\, we’ll hear from Dr. Paul Hanson about the phosphorus dynamics in Lake Mendota and how machine learning can help us better understand the linkages between human decision making and water quality. \n\n\n\nJoin us for a deeper dive into Lake Mendota! \n\n\n\nAbout our speaker\n\n\n\nDr. Paul C. Hanson is a Distinguished Professor of Research at the University of Wisconsin-Madison Center for Limnology. Dr. Hanson studies lakes and reservoirs as ecosystems embedded in human\, landscape\, and climate contexts. His work has focused on issues of water quality and how lakes and their services respond to nutrient and carbon inputs from their watershed.  Through computer simulations\, Dr. Hanson recreates the patterns observed in aquatic systems\, and links those patterns to our understanding of the way the bio-physical world works. \n\n\n\nHis research has led to quantification of the roles that lakes and reservoirs play in the global carbon cycle\, new understanding of the linkages between human decision making and water quality\, and advancements in water quality prediction through numerical simulation and machine learning. This research has been applied to lakes and reservoirs around the world through his leadership in the Global Lake Ecological Observatory Network (GLEON).  \n\n\n\nEvent details\n\n\n\nThis event is at The Edgewater. Come at 7:30 a.m. for a meet-and-greet and to enjoy your coffee\, pastries\, and fruit. The program begins at 8 a.m.\, and class is dismissed by 9 a.m. Complimentary event parking will be available at The Edgewater. \n\n\n\nAdmission is FREE for Friends of Clean Lakes. If you are not a Friend\, admission is $10 per event. Registration for each event is requested for all attendees. \n\n\n\nYahara Lakes 101 Science Café\n\n\n\nYahara Lakes 101 is a series of educational events open to the public and a great chance for residents to learn more about the science behind the issues that affect our lakes. Each month we feature a different expert to make the science accessible and interesting to non-technical audiences. \n\n\n\nThe series is produced in partnership with the UW-Madison Nelson Institute for Environmental Studies\, with presenting sponsors First Weber Foundation and Johnson Financial Group\, hosting sponsor The Edgewater Madison\, supporting sponsor National Guardian Life Insurance Company\, and media partner the Isthmus.

SUMMARY:Yahara Lakes 101 with Karen Oberhauser
DESCRIPTION:Monarch Butterfly Conservation: An “All Hands on Deck” Approach for a Flagship Insect\n\n\n\nREGISTER\n\n\n\nJoin us for Yahara Lakes 101 to learn about the issues that impact our lakes! \n\n\n\nAbout this Talk\n\n\n\nOur Yahara Lakes are part of a dynamic and interconnected ecosystem. As a result\, the pressures that impact water quality also affect our lands\, wildlife\, and even insects! \n\n\n\nAt this month’s Yahara Lakes 101 talk\, Karen Oberhauser of the University of Wisconsin-Madison will discuss declining Monarch butterfly populations and the “all hands on deck” approach needed for conservation. Through intentional habitat restoration\, we can help increase the number of Monarchs and improve water quality in our lakes. Join us to learn how life in flight and life on the lakes are intrinsically connected! \n\n\n\nAbout our Speaker\n\n\n\nKaren Oberhauser is the Director of the UW-Madison Arboretum. She and her students have conducted research on several aspects of monarch butterfly ecology. Her research depends on traditional lab and field techniques\, as well as the contributions of a variety of audiences through citizen science. Her strong interest in promoting a citizenry with a high degree of scientific and environmental literacy led to the development of a science education program that involves courses for teachers\, and opportunities for youth\, to engage in research and share their findings with broad audiences. \n\n\n\nIn 1996\, she started a nationwide Citizen Science project called the Monarch Larva Monitoring Project\, which continues to engage hundreds of volunteers throughout North America. Oberhauser has authored over 90 papers on her research on monarchs\, insect conservation\, and citizen science. Her new job at the Arboretum blends her work on habitat conservation\, public outreach\, and citizen science research. \n\n\n\nOberhauser is passionate about the conservation of the world’s biodiversity\, and believes that the connections her projects promote between monarchs\, humans\, and the natural world promote meaningful conservation action. She is the chair of the Monarch Joint Venture\, and a founding officer of the Monarch Butterfly Fund. In 2013\, Oberhauser received a White House Champion of Change award for her work with Citizen Science. \n\n\n\nEvent Details\n\n\n\nThe event is held at The Edgewater. Come at 7:30 a.m. for a meet-and-greet and to enjoy coffee\, pastries\, and fruit. The program begins at 8 a.m.\, and class is dismissed by 9 a.m. Complimentary event parking will be available at The Edgewater. \n\n\n\nAdmission is FREE for Friends of Clean Lakes. If you are not a Friend\, admission is $10 per event. Registration for each event is requested for all attendees. \n\n\n\nYahara Lakes 101 Lecture Series\n\n\n\nYahara Lakes 101 is a series of educational events open to the public and a great chance for residents to learn more about the science behind the issues that affect our lakes. Each month we feature a different expert to make the science accessible and interesting to non-technical audiences. \n\n\n\nThe series is produced in partnership with the UW-Madison Nelson Institute for Environmental Studies\, with presenting sponsors First Weber Foundation and Johnson Financial Group\, hosting sponsor The Edgewater Madison\, supporting sponsor National Guardian Life Insurance Company\, and media partner the Isthmus.

SUMMARY:Yahara Lakes 101 with Hilary Dugan
DESCRIPTION:Yahara Lakes 101: Salt and our freshwater lakes\nREGISTER TODAY \n\nAbout the talk\nRoad salt is often thought of as an ‘environmentally safe’ chemical. However\, at high concentrations\, chloride can alter aquatic ecosystems by stressing freshwater species\, and deteriorate drinking water sources. For 70+ years\, we have applied road salt (sodium chloride) to paved surfaces\, without any regard for the environmental consequences. \nIn this month’s Yahara Lakes 101 talk\, Hilary Dugan will discuss long-term chloride trends and the state of our lakes across the Midwest and Northeast United States with regard to chloride contamination. We’ll also learn what is currently being done locally to curtail further environmental damage. \nAbout our speaker\nHilary Dugan is an assistant professor at the Center for Limnology at the University of Wisconsin – Madison. As a limnologist\, Hilary studies how terrestrial and atmospheric changes\, such as warming air temperatures or land use patterns\, alter biogeochemical fluxes and aquatic processes in lakes. Her research balances field based programs\, which rely heavily on sensor networks\, with the use and development of analytical models\, and the application of geophysical and geospatial tools. Her research focus is on temperate and polar lakes\, with sites spanning from Wisconsin to Antarctica. \nOne of Hilary’s recent research projects examined long-term chloride trends in over 500 lakes in North America and Europe. She found that many urban lakes in North America have undergone considerable long-term salinization stemming from road salt application. \nEvent Details\nThis event is at The Edgewater. Come at 7:30 a.m. for a meet-and-greet and to enjoy your coffee\, pastries\, and fruit. The program begins at 8 a.m.\, and class is dismissed by 9 a.m. Complimentary event parking will be available at The Edgewater. \nAdmission is FREE for 2019 Friends of Clean Lakes. If you are not a Friend\, admission is $10 per event. Registration for each event is requested for all attendees.

SUMMARY:Yahara Lakes 101 with Claudio Gratton
DESCRIPTION:Upending the Paradigm: Agriculture and the environment for a sustainable future\nREGISTER TODAY\nJoin us for Yahara Lakes 101 to learn about the issues that impact our lakes! \nAbout the talk\nIncreasing pressure on our agricultural lands pose significant biological and ecosystem-level consequences to our lands and waters. But what about the bugs? Lesser known\, but equally important\, is the decrease in species that support vital agricultural functions such as crop pollination and pest suppression. In this month’s Yahara Lakes 101 talk\, UW-Madison entomologist\, Claudio Gratton\, will discuss how we can support agricultural needs while maintaining a multifunctional landscape that meets the diverse needs of our society\, and crawling neighbors. \nAbout our speaker\nDr. Gratton has been on the faculty in the Entomology department at the University of Wisconsin\, Madison since 2003.  His research group works broadly on the landscape ecology of arthropod food webs in agricultural landscapes.  Their research has examined the role of unmanaged “non-crop” lands in the agricultural matrix and their effects on the abundance and diversity of beneficial insects including predators and pollinators and their effect on the provisioning of ecosystem services in agricultural habitats.  Recent work in bioenergy landscapes has been as part of the sustainability team of the Great Lakes Bioenergy Research Center (GLBRC).  Research in the lab looking at the linkages between ecosystems also extends also to examining the relationships between lakes and streams and the adjacent terrestrial landscapes and the role of aquatic insects in creating those linkages. Recently\, he has been part of bee and butterfly conservation efforts in the state. \nDr. Gratton received his BS in Biology from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (1991) and his PhD in Entomology from the University of California – Berkeley (1997). At UW he teaches courses in Basic and Applied Insect Ecology\, Agroecology\, Field Ecology\, and Multivariate Methods in Ecological research.  His is a current Associate Editor of Ecological Applications.  He is a recipient of the Vilas Research Fellows award (2017)\, and is a Stanford-Woods Institute Aldo Leopold Leadership Program Fellow (2013). \nEvent Details\nThis event is at The Edgewater. Come at 7:30 a.m. for a meet-and-greet and to enjoy your coffee\, pastries\, and fruit. The program begins at 8 a.m.\, and class is dismissed by 9 a.m. Complimentary event parking will be available at The Edgewater. \nAdmission is FREE for 2019 Friends of Clean Lakes. If you are not a Friend\, admission is $10 per event. Registration for each event is requested for all attendees. \nBecome a Friend today! \nYahara Lakes 101 Lecture Series\nYahara Lakes 101 is a series of educational events open to the public and a great chance for residents to learn more about the science behind the issues that affect our lakes.

SUMMARY:Yahara Lakes 101 with Phil Gaebler
DESCRIPTION:Rake for Our Lakes: The Importance of Urban Leaf Management\nREGISTER NOW \nAbout the talk\nTrees benefit cities by providing shade\, purifying the air\, absorbing rain water and creating natural habitats in our urban environments. However\, each fall leaves create a phosphorus rich layer on the ground that is a major source of nutrient pollution to our lakes. The City of Madison and the United States Geologic Survey have been conducting a research project for the last 5 years in an attempt to quantify impacts of leaf management on water quality. This talk will cover results to date and describe how YOU can reduce leaf impact on the lakes. \nAbout our speaker\nPhil Gaebler is a water resources engineer for the City of Madison. He focuses primarily on ways to reduce the impact of stormwater on the lakes and streams near the City of Madison. This includes designing green infrastructure\, detention basins\, and innovative treatment technologies. In his role at the City\, he also works on public outreach for many projects and is always looking for ways to effectively share how citizen actions can impact water quality. \nEvent Details\nThis event is at The Edgewater. Come at 7:30 a.m. for a meet-and-greet and to enjoy your coffee\, pastries\, and fruit. The program begins at 8 a.m.\, and class is dismissed by 9 a.m. Complimentary event parking will be available at The Edgewater. \nAdmission is FREE for Friends of Clean Lakes. If you are not a Friend\, admission is $10 per event. Registration for each event is requested for all attendees. \nYahara Lakes 101 Lecture Series\nYahara Lakes 101 is a series of educational events open to the public and a great chance for residents to learn more about the science behind the issues that affect our lakes.

Joe sought out public service as a way to give back to a community that has given so much to him. Joe was first elected as County Executive\, the chief elected leader of Dane County\, in 2011 after 6 years in the State Assembly and 8 years as Dane County Clerk.\n\nJoe’s priority is to ensure that everyone in our community has access to the opportunity to succeed. He believes investing in people pays big dividends. Joe knows this can work because he experienced it. As a teenager\, Joe dropped out of high school. He was encouraged to return to education through a community program by people who believed in him. So he worked to earn his GED and went on to MATC (now Madison College) and graduated from UW-Madison with a degree in sociology. Now Joe believes it is his turn to give back to ensure that our children’s generation has access to the same opportunities that were available to him.\n\nJohn Reimer is the Assistant Director of the Dane County Land & Water Resources Department. His technical background has focused on modeling and analysis of watersheds\, rivers\, and lakes. Reimer is responsible for lake level management including aquatic plant harvesting and operation of the three dams in the Yahara Chain of Lakes.\nEvent Details\nThe event is held at The Edgewater.

SUMMARY:Yahara Lakes 101 with Cal DeWitt: Waubesa Wetlands
DESCRIPTION:About the talk \nSince first making his home in the Waubesa Wetlands in 1972\, environmental scientist Dr. Cal DeWitt has worked with his UW research students to know and understand this grand wetland ecosystem for more than four decades. Along with his wetland neighbor and Aldo Leopold Professor Emerita of Restoration Ecology\, Joy Zedler\, Cal has recently brought these decades of study together to produce Joy’s book on Waubesa Wetlands\, whose title is also that of Cal’s illustrated lecture for Clean Lakes Alliance.  \nDr. DeWitt selected the Waubesa Wetlands as his family’s habitat\, much as the Paleo-Indians did ten thousand years ago\, because of its ecological richness that supports not only the immense variety of plants and animals and its vital ecosystem services\, but also human cultures right through to the present.  \nBy delving into the historical records readable from Waubesa’s great peat deposits\, discovering its developmental history and sustaining services to the lakes and their life\, and describing its vibrant life\, Cal will open us to a new look at an old gem. Then he will apply this to understanding and caring for our place in the string of lakes and wetlands we call the Yahara chain of lakes. \nAbout our speaker \nCalvin B. “Cal” DeWitt is professor emeritus in the Nelson Institute\, University of Wisconsin-Madison\, who has served on the graduate faculties of Environment and Resources\, Water Resources Management\, Conservation Biology and Sustainable Development\, and Limnology and Marine Science. His university assignment since 1972 has been “to address the fragmentation of the disciplines” through development of an integrative program of teaching\, research\, and public service directed toward ecological integrity and sustainability. His service at UW includes four decades of teaching the undergraduate course in Environmental Science and three decades of teaching the Institute’s graduate course in interdisciplinary wetlands research\, Field Investigations in Wetland Ecology\, taught each fall semester at his home in the Waubesa Wetlands.  \nIn 2005\, Cal received the National Wildlife Federation’s “Connie” as “a world-class conservationist.” He also was awarded the FUNEP 500 Environmental Achiever Award\, Friends of the United Nations Environmental Programme; the Capitol Community Citizens Award for Land Use Planning in the Town of Dunn\, the Town of Dunn Stewardship Award; Environmentalist of the Year Award\, Madison Audubon Society; and the Distinguished Alumni Award\, Calvin College. Googling “Earth Stewardship and Laudato Si” accesses a free copy of one of his most recent publications\, in The Quarterly Review of Biology. He and his wife Ruth have lived on Waubesa Wetlands since 1972\, where they have raised their three children. \nCal has taught and inspired hundreds of students at the University of Wisconsin and has led and contributed actively to conservation and environmental stewardship at the local\, state\, national and international levels. His conservation leadership includes protection of 300 acres of forest in metropolitan Detroit\, the 1\,000-acre Waubesa Wetlands Reserve in Wisconsin\, and a nationally recognized land stewardship initiative in the Town of Dunn\, Wisconsin. \nAbout the series \nYahara Lakes 101 is a series of educational events open to the public and a great chance for residents to learn more about the science behind the issues that affect our lakes. Each month we feature a different expert to make the science accessible and interesting to non-technical audiences. \nThe series is produced in partnership with the UW-Madison Nelson Institute for Environmental Studies\, with hosting sponsor The Edgewater\, presenting sponsor First Weber Group\, supporting sponsor The Evjue Foundation\, and media sponsor The Isthmus. \nThe event is held both indoors and outdoors (weather permitting) at The Edgewater. Come at 7:30 a.m. for a meet-and-greet and to enjoy your coffee\, pastries\, and fruit. The program begins at 8 a.m.\, and class is dismissed by 9 a.m. Complimentary event parking will be available at The Edgewater. \nAdmission is FREE for Friends of Clean Lakes. If you are not a Friend\, admission is $10 per event. Registration for each event is requested for all attendees.

SUMMARY:Yahara Lakes 101 with Trina McMahon: Blue-Green Algae
DESCRIPTION:About the talk \n\n\nCyanobacteria are persistent and a serious problem in the Yahara Watershed. These “blue green algae” are common in lakes that receive an abundance of nutrients like nitrogen and phosphorus\, from human activity in watersheds. They are known for “blooming” unpredictably during the summer months. These blooms can sometimes be toxic\, because the cyanobacteria produce toxins for unknown reasons. The occurrence of blooms and toxin production cannot currently be predicted because our understanding of cyanobacterial biology is limited. However\, we do know a little bit about how and why they bloom\, and whether or not toxins could be produced in a lake. This talk will explain what we know\, what we don’t know\, and what we wish that we knew\, about freshwater cyanobacteria.\n\n\nAbout our speaker \nKatherine (Trina) McMahon is a professor in the Civil and Environmental Engineering\, and Bacteriology Departments at UW-Madison. She has been studying freshwater lakes since 2003 when she arrived in Madison after completing her PhD at the University of California at Berkeley. She studies the biology of microorganisms living in freshwater ecosystems using Wisconsin lakes as living laboratories. Her research team uses a combination of classical limnology approaches and modern genomic sequencing techniques to discover how microorganisms in lakes provide critical ecosystem services related to water quality. She is a Vilas Distinguished Achievement Professor and was recently elected into the American Academy of Microbiology.  Trina lives on the west side of Madison with her two children\, husband\, and two silly cats. She is honored to live in the house owned by Aldo Leopold during his tenure at UW-Madison.  \nAbout the series \nYahara Lakes 101 is a series of educational events open to the public and a great chance for residents to learn more about the science behind the issues that affect our lakes. Each month we feature a different expert to make the science accessible and interesting to non-technical audiences. \nThe series is produced in partnership with the UW-Madison Nelson Institute for Environmental Studies\, with hosting sponsor The Edgewater\, presenting sponsor First Weber Group\, supporting sponsor The Evjue Foundation\, and media sponsor The Isthmus. \nThe event is held both indoors and outdoors (weather permitting) at The Edgewater.

SUMMARY:Yahara Lakes 101: Monarchs and our lakes
DESCRIPTION:About the talk \nMonarch butterfly populations have been declining over the last 20 years. Because insect numbers are notoriously difficult to assess\, and because they often show large annual fluctuations\, simply documenting this decline has been a challenge. It is now important to move beyond simple documentation\, and toward responding to the challenge posed by monarch conservation\, and insect conservation in general. I’ll describe the amazing biology of migratory monarch populations\, and then discuss how the need for an “all hands on deck” approach to monarch conservation is galvanizing habitat restoration across North America\, including along fragile waterways. \nClean Lakes Alliance will be handing out our FIRST set of 5-year monitoring awards for our citizen monitors that have participated from 2013-2017! \nAbout our speaker \nKaren Oberhauser is the Director of the UW-Madison Arboretum. She and her students have conducted research on several aspects of monarch butterfly ecology. Her research depends on traditional lab and field techniques\, as well as the contributions of a variety of audiences through citizen science. Her strong interest in promoting a citizenry with a high degree of scientific and environmental literacy led to the development of a science education program that involves courses for teachers\, and opportunities for youth to engage in research and share their findings with broad audiences. \nIn 1996\, Karen started a nationwide Citizen Science project called the Monarch Larva Monitoring Project\, which continues to engage hundreds of volunteers throughout North America. Karen has authored over 90 papers on her research on monarchs\, insect conservation\, and citizen science. Her new job at the Arboretum blends her work on habitat conservation\, public outreach\, and citizen science research. \nKaren is passionate about the conservation of the world’s biodiversity\, and believes that the connections her projects promote between monarchs\, humans\, and the natural world promote meaningful conservation action. She is the chair of the Monarch Joint Venture\, and a founding officer of the Monarch Butterfly Fund. In 2013\, Karen received a White House Champion of Change award for her work with Citizen Science. \nAbout the series \nYahara Lakes 101 is a series of educational events open to the public and a great chance for residents to learn more about the science behind the issues that affect our lakes. Each month we feature a different expert to make the science accessible and interesting to non-technical audiences. \nThe series is produced in partnership with the UW-Madison Nelson Institute for Environmental Studies\, with hosting sponsor The Edgewater\, presenting sponsor First Weber Group\, supporting sponsor The Evjue Foundation\, and media sponsor The Isthmus. \nThe event is held both indoors and outdoors (weather permitting) at The Edgewater.

SUMMARY:Yahara Lakes 101 with Susan Graham: Stop Aquatic Hitchhikers
DESCRIPTION:About the talk\n\nJoin us for Yahara Lakes 101 on Wednesday\, April 11th for a special talk on invasive species in our lakes. Susan Graham will speak about the scale of the problem\, what Wisconsin is doing\, what YOU can do to help. We’ll learn about what invaders could be next and what success has looked like right here in Wisconsin.\n\nAquatic invasive species\, otherwise known as “AIS\,” are non-native species that can take over\, spread primarily by humans\, and negatively impact recreation\, the economy\, and our native ecosystems. Wisconsin has a comprehensive rule called “NR-40” that classifies species that are prohibited\, restricted\, or not a concern\, and guides regulations based on risks. For the Wisconsin DNR\, preventing the spread of invasive species relies on a social science understanding of human behavior.\n\nSusan Graham has worked on lake-related issues for 25 years at the Wisconsin DNR and is a great resource for anyone wanting to learn more. Don’t miss this talk!\n\nAbout our speaker\n\nSusan Graham earned her master’s degree in Water Resources Management from the University of Wisconsin-Madison Nelson Institute for Environmental Studies. She has worked on a variety of lake-related issues in her 25 years at Wisconsin DNR\, including water quality assessment\, coordinating the statewide Citizen Lake Monitoring Network\, and serving on committees to establish phosphorus standards for lakes.\n\nSusan is currently the Lakes Coordinator for DNR’s southcentral region\, where she works on aquatic plant management along with monitoring\, grants\, and policy for lakes and aquatic invasive species. Susan is also part of a team that is creating a tool to prioritize response efforts to invasive species on public lands and waters. Sue is an avid organic gardener and hiker\, and loves swimming and paddling when there isn’t ice coating our waters.\n\nAbout the series\n\nYahara Lakes 101 is a series of educational events open to the public and a great chance for residents to learn more about the science behind the issues that affect our lakes. Each month we feature a different expert to make the science accessible and interesting to non-technical audiences.\n\nThe series is produced in partnership with the UW-Madison Nelson Institute for Environmental Studies\, with hosting sponsor The Edgewater\, presenting sponsor First Weber Group\, supporting sponsor The Evjue Foundation\, and media sponsor The Isthmus.\n\nThe event is held both indoors and outdoors (weather permitting) at The Edgewater.
