Great Lake Gatherings

The Lake Michigan Basin is one of Wisconsin’s most treasured and heavily used resources. The watershed is an essential component of the economic and cultural identity of our region, as well as supporting a unique and impressive array of biological diversity. As the region grows, how do we care for this great resource on which our quality of life depends?

The Lake Michigan Shorelands Alliance hosted the Great Lake Gatherings in fall 2008 to ensure that we all work together to preserve this beautiful land along the shoreline for future generations. These four community forums brought together more than 450 local business owners, government officials, community leaders, landowners and other citizens to tackle the complex challenges facing the watershed.

The Gatherings took place in key communities along Lake Michigan:

    • Green Bay: September 16, UW-Green Bay
    • Sheboygan: October 1, John Michael Kohler Art Center
    • Mequon: October 8, Mequon Nature Preserve
    • Milwaukee: October 15, Milwaukee Art Museum

Thank you to everyone that joined us at the Great Lake Gatherings. We look forward to working with you to keep the Great Lake's future bright!
