The River Revitalization Foundation, Milwaukee
Area Land Conservancy and Gathering Waters Conservancy invite you
to join us on October 15th for the Milwaukee Great Lake
Gathering.
The Gathering will be from 8am to 12pm at the Milwaukee Art Museum.
Overview
The Milwaukee 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
TheRiver Revitalization Foundation, Milwaukee
Area Land Conservancy, 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.
