SUMMARY:Yahara Lakes 101\, Leaf-Free Streets: Reducing Urban Phosphorus
DESCRIPTION:Yahara Lakes 101\nJoin us for this ONLINE edition of Yahara Lakes 101 to learn about the issues that impact our lakes! \nRegister for Yahara Lakes 101 \nAbout this Talk\nTrees have long been a valued feature of the urban landscape. They provide a host of benefits such as habitat\, aesthetics\, energy savings\, and noise reduction. Trees are also an important part of the urban hydrologic cycle. The functions and value of trees have recently gained attention as viable tools in the management of urban stormwater.  \nResearch on the interactions between urban trees and stormwater quantity and quality has revealed a double-edged sword. A community with dense overhead tree canopy may benefit from reduced stormwater runoff volume through interception\, transpiration\, and infiltration but may also suffer from excess nutrients leached to nearby receiving waters from leaf litter. This presentation will highlight ongoing research that will help environmental managers assess how municipal leaf collection and street cleaning programs can limit the amount of phosphorus in stormwater runoff.  \nAbout our Speaker\nBill Selbig is a research hydrologist at the Upper Midwest Water Science Center of the U.S Geological Survey. For the past 25 years his research has focused on characterization of pollutants in urban runoff\, identification of their sources\, and evaluation of the techniques and practices designed to treat them. Much of his research has been used to stimulate or amend stormwater policy and guidance in the United States. Bill also leads a team of USGS scientists who study urban stormwater and green infrastructure around the Great Lakes as part of the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative. In addition to his work at the USGS\, Bill serves as science advisor for several national stormwater research groups.  \nEvent Details\nThis event will be held online via Zoom. The online talk is free and open to the public. A link to access the talk LIVE will be sent to all registered attendees ahead of the event. \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. 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 and UW-Extension Lakes\, with presenting sponsors First Weber Foundation and Johnson Financial Group\, hosting sponsor The Edgewater\, supporting sponsor National Guardian Life Insurance Company\, and media partner the Isthmus.

SUMMARY:Yahara Lakes 101: Shorelines\, Clean Water\, & Healthy Lakes
DESCRIPTION:  \n\n\n\nYahara Lakes 101\nJoin us for this ONLINE edition of Yahara Lakes 101 to learn about the issues that impact our lakes! \n  \n\n\nRegister for Yahara Lakes 101\n\n\nAbout this Talk\nAs the interface between our continually-changing landscapes and lakes\, shorelands are a critical component to maintaining healthy and balanced aquatic ecosystems. So what does a healthy shoreline look like? \nIn this month’s ONLINE Yahara Lakes 101 talk\, Patrick Goggin from the Extension Lakes program at UW-Stevens Point will present on characteristics of natural shorelines and how systems of native plants provide significant benefits to our lakes and rivers. Based on work the Extension Lakes team is doing\, this talk will highlight the biodiversity of wildlife and plants that utilize the land-water zone of shorelands and call attention to current challenges related to shoreland health.  \nAttendees will find Patrick’s overview of the Wisconsin’s Healthy Lakes and Rivers Grants program particularly helpful – a grant that identifies improvements that any waterfront property owner can embark on to enhance wildlife habitat and promote clean water on their waterbody. Lastly\, Patrick will provide a guided tour of the Healthy Lakes and Rivers website portal\, a tool to help lakefront property owners understand and implement beneficial actions in their own communities.  \nAbout our Speaker\nPatrick Goggin works with the Extension Lakes team\, collaborating on the development of educational programming and materials for people of the lakes. Areas of interest for him include helping lake organizations with their community goals\, sharing lake management tools and resources for aquatic ecosystems\, and aiding people in gaining a better understanding and appreciation for the native flora of Wisconsin lakeshores. He works for the University of Wisconsin-Steven’s Point College of Natural Resources and the University of Wisconsin-Madison Division of Extension out of the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (WDNR) Service Center in Rhinelander. \nEvent Details\nThis event will be held online via Zoom. The online talk is free and open to the public.

SUMMARY:Yahara Lakes 101: Pheasant Branch Conservancy
DESCRIPTION:Yahara Lakes 101\n\n\n\nJoin us for this ONLINE edition of Yahara Lakes 101 to learn about the issues that impact our lakes! \n\n\n\n\nRegister for Yahara Lakes 101\n\n\n\n\nAbout this Talk\n\n\n\nIn this month’s talk\, we’ll hear from representatives of the Friends of Pheasant Branch Conservancy\, Dane County\, and City of Middleton about the recently purchased\, 160-acre farm directly north of Pheasant Branch Conservancy. The property acquisition is the largest conservation preservation investment in Dane County’s history\, costing nearly 10 million dollars. \nPheasant Branch Conservancy is a natural area owned by the Dane County Parks Department\, the City of Middleton\, and the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources. The area is also host to the Friends of Pheasant Branch Conservancy\, a dedicated group focused on restoring\, protecting\, and promoting the conservancy as an ecological whole. The conservancy is a natural area made up of many types of diverse habitats\, including wetlands\, prairies\, and forests. Home to a wide variety of animals and plants\, the land contains the headwaters of a stream which flows into Pheasant Branch Creek before it reaches Lake Mendota. \nRestoring the additional Dane County property to natural prairie will help to improve infiltration of rainwater into the ground. Prairie plants often have better root systems than crops\, allowing prairies to absorb the rainwater where it falls instead of running off into the nearest waterway. The deep root systems also hold soil in place\, which reduces the amount of sediment lost with runoff. Dane County expects to prevent more than 2.6 million gallons of runoff each year through increased infiltration into the natural landscape. \n\n\n\nAbout our Speakers\n\n\n\nCounty Executive Joe Parisi has called Dane County home his entire life. 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. Joe’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. \nLloyd Eagan (Friends of Pheasant Branch Conservancy) graduated from Smith College with a degree in Environmental Biology and moved to Madison – the birthplace of limnology – to pursue a master’s degree in Water Resources Management from the University of Wisconsin Nelson Institute for Environmental Studies. After several water quality planning jobs\, she became Dane County’s FIRST Lakes and Watershed Coordinator. She spent nearly 35 years working for the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources\, serving more than six years as the regional director of the south-central region\, and for the final two years of her career she returned to her water roots and served as Water Leader for the southern half of Wisconsin. She currently serves as the co-president of the Friends of Pheasant Branch Conservancy. \nMark Wegner (Assistant Director for Conservancy Lands/Forestry for the City of Middleton) is leading the response and recovery effort from the 2018 flooding for the Public Lands Department. Over the past 10 years\, Mark has overseen Middleton’s response to the Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) in a proactive response that diversified the urban forest of Middleton. In his spare time\, Mark is an aspiring tri-athlete. The Middleton Public Lands\, Recreation & Forestry Department is responsible for over 1\,100 acres of park and conservancy land\, 27 miles of multi-use paths\, and comprehensive recreation programming for the community.  The Department is a 4-time gold medal finalist with the National Recreation & Parks Association and is home to the Wisconsin Parks & Recreation Association (WPRA) 2019 Recreation Professional of the Year and the 2019 Park Professional of the Year. \n\n\n\nEvent Details\n\n\n\nThis event will be held online via Zoom. The online talk is free and open to the public. A link to access the talk LIVE will be sent to all registered attendees ahead of the event. \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 Hy Cite Enterprises\, hosting sponsor The Edgewater\, supporting sponsor National Guardian Life Insurance Company\, and media partner the Isthmus.

SUMMARY:Yahara Lakes 101 with Paul Garrison
DESCRIPTION:Yahara Lakes 101: History in the Mucking\n\n\n\nJoin us for Yahara Lakes 101 to learn about the issues that impact our lakes! \n\n\n\nREGISTER HERE\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout this Talk\n\n\n\nWater quality in Wisconsin’s lakes has evolved throughout time. But how has it changed since the influx of European-American immigrants more than 150 years ago? \n\n\n\nThe history can be revealed through the use of sediment cores taken from lakes throughout Wisconsin. We can see the impact of significant changes in land use including agriculture\, logging\, urbanization\, and shoreline development. In this month’s Yahara Lakes 101\, former DNR water research scientist Paul Garrison will help us uncover the history—from increased mechanization after World War II\, to the widespread use of synthetic fertilizers. \n\n\n\nAbout our Speaker\n\n\n\nPaul Garrison is retired from the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources where he was a Water Research Scientist for more than 39 years. His research was mostly concentrated on lakes\, with a specialty in using sediment cores to reconstruct the water quality history of lakes. Garrison also studied acid precipitation\, lake restoration\, lake classification\, mercury pollution\, wetland classification\, and phosphorus impacts on streams. He now works part-time for Onterra\, LLC doing lake management planning. \n\n\n\nEvent Details\n\n\n\nThe event is held at The Edgewater.

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.
