The Glacial Lakes Conservancy and Gathering Waters Conservancy invite you to join us on October 1st for the Sheboygan Area Great Lake Gathering. The Gathering will be from 8am to 12pm at the Kohler Arts Center.

Overview
The Sheboygan 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 Gatherings will introduce participants to new partners who are working to protect that treasure in our shared back yard.
