SUMMARY:Clean Lakes 101: Frozen Frontiers - Secrets of Life Beneath the Ice
DESCRIPTION:Clean Lakes 101\n\n\n\nJoin us for this in-person edition of Clean Lakes 101 on Saturday\, February 8th from 2 -3 p.m. as part of our free\, family-friendly Frozen Assets Festival. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTo register\, enter your information below\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout this Talk\n\n\n\nJoin us as we explore the fascinating adaptations of animals that live beneath lake ice during the winter. We’ll highlight how these species survive in extreme cold\, low oxygen\, and dark environments\, focusing on strategies such as metabolic slowdowns\, specialized breathing techniques\, and unique behaviors to cope with the frozen habitat. Led by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resource’s Justin Chenevert\, this family-friendly presentation offers a deeper understanding of the resilience of winter wildlife.   \n\n\n\nAbout our Speaker\n\n\n\nJustin Chenevert (Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources) began his career in water resources by removing invasive plants from the Charles River outside of Boston\, MA. Soon enough\, he found himself in Madison completing the Water Resources Management master’s program at UW. Justin worked for Clean Lakes Alliance from 2014 – 2016. He supported the volunteer water quality monitoring program and analyzing water quality data. Justin is currently employed by the Department of Natural Resources in the Monitoring section of the Water Quality Bureau. He works on a variety of projects related to lake water quality\, ecology\, and citizen science. In his free time\, Justin enjoys ice fishing and paddling on the Madison lakes and beyond. \n\n\n\nEvent Details\n\n\n\nThis event will be held at The Edgewater – grand ballroom\, section C\, level 5  (1001 Wisconsin Pl\, Madison\, WI 53703). The program runs from 2 – 3 p.m. A Q/A session will follow the presentation as time allows. Limited parking may be available at The Edgewater parking ramp. Otherwise\, parking will be available on area streets or nearby City of Madison parking ramps. \n\n\n\nClean Lakes 101 Lecture Series\n\n\n\nClean Lakes 101 is a series of educational events open to the public. They are a great chance 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. The series is produced in partnership with the UW-Madison Nelson Institute for Environmental Studies and UW-Extension Lakes\, with presenting sponsor National Guardian Life Insurance Company\, hosting sponsor The Edgewater\, supporting sponsor Johnson Financial Group\, and media sponsor WKOW. Additional support is provided by Alliant Energy Foundation\, Hovde Properties\, and Perkins Coie LLP. \n\n\n\nThank you\, 2025 Frozen Assets sponsors!

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. Come at 7:30 a.m. for a meet-and-greet and to enjoy coffee\, pastries\, and fruit.

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.

SUMMARY:Yahara Lakes 101 with Joe Parisi & John Reimer: Dane County Budget Flood Initiatives
DESCRIPTION:Recovery\, Rebuild\, Resilience: Dane County Budget Flood Initiatives\nREGISTER NOW\nAbout this talk\nIn the wake of historic late summer flooding that resulted in millions of dollars of damage in Dane County\, Joe Parisi and John Reimer will discuss new initiatives the County will include in its upcoming 2019 budget proposal to aid flood recovery\, increase lake health\, and build future resiliency.\nAbout our speakers\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.\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. Come at 7:30 a.m. for a meet-and-greet and to enjoy coffee\, pastries\, and fruit.

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.

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.

SUMMARY:Yahara Lakes 101 with Michael Mucha: Respect Every Drop
DESCRIPTION:About the talk \nWe compartmentalize water in our daily lives.  There is water for drinking and washing\, there is water for recreating and there is water we flush that goes away. \nBut we all know\, at least conceptually\, that water does not actually go away.  It goes through a cycle of use and reuse time after time again.  Michael will talk about efforts to respect every drop of water and the adaptive challenge necessary to turn skeptics into advocates for a sustainable water future. \nAbout our speaker \nMichael Mucha is the Chief Engineer and Director for the Madison Metropolitan Sewerage District. He has dedicated his 28-year career in local government to building public trust through sustainability. \nMichael has his BS in Civil Engineering from the University of Wisconsin Milwaukee\, his Masters in Public Administration from the University of Washington-Seattle\, and completed Harvard University’s Senior Executives in State and Local Government program. He is a registered professional engineer. \nMichael serves on the Board of Directors for the Institute for Sustainable Infrastructure and teaches courses in sustainable infrastructure management and adaptive leadership at the University of Wisconsin and Edgewood College. \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 Justin Chenevert: Love in the Lakes
DESCRIPTION:About the talk \nOrganisms across the globe are faced with the same dilemma – how to pass on their genes to the next generation and give their youngsters the best possible chance at success. Things are no different for the creatures in the Madison-area lakes. Pike\, panfish\, plants\, and invertebrates all go to great lengths to find love\, but take wildly different approaches. What makes each strategy successful\, and why? During this presentation\, you’ll learn about the mating and reproductive strategies of several important species\, which range from the heartwarming… to the bizarre. \nAbout our speakers \nJustin began his career in water resources hauling laundry baskets of invasive weeds from the muddy Charles River in Boston\, MA. Despite the smell\, he found he loved working with water\, and moved to Madison in 2013 to pursue a master’s degree in Water Resources Management from UW-Madison. Since 2014 Justin has worked for Clean Lakes Alliance in many capacities\, including surveying lake users\, supporting the citizen water quality monitoring program\, making maps\, and analyzing water quality data. He is currently employed by the Department of Natural Resources in the Water Monitoring section. In his free time\, Justin enjoys ice fishing and paddling on the Madison lakes and beyond. \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.
