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.
Hosts
The Glacial Lakes 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.
