Great Lake Gatherings: Mequon
October 8, 2008 •
Mequon Nature Preserve • Mequon, WI

The Ozaukee Washington Land Trust and Gathering Waters Conservancy invite you to join us on October 8th for the Mequon Great Lake Gathering. The Gathering will be from 5:30 to 8:30pm at the Mequon Nature Preserve.

Overview
The Mequon Gathering is an open and collaborative forum intended to spark conversations about local and regional land and water conservation. We hope to encourage new, creative partnerships to protect the places important to the great quality of life in the Lake Michigan Basin.

Everyone who shares a common love for the natural treasures in the Lake Michigan basin is encouraged to attend: business owners, elected officials, landowners, economic development organizations, conservation groups, chambers of commerce, community organization members, and the general public. The Great Lake Gathering will introduce participants to new partners who are working to protect that treasure in our shared back yard.

Hosts
The Ozaukee Washington Land Trust and Gathering Waters Conservancy with support from the Joyce Foundation, are hosting one in a series of open forums this fall in four Wisconsin communities: Green Bay, Sheboygan, Mequon and Milwaukee.

Land trusts play an important role in preserving and improving the ecological, economic and human health in the area. One goal of the Gatherings is to encourage community leaders to look to their land trusts as a resource.
