There are a lot of exciting projects happening in the watershed these days! To help keep the community informed, the WPWA has organized a series of brief lectures to review various activities in the watershed. The first two presentations will be at the WPWA campus in Barberville and the third will be a special presentation at our annual meeting in May 2010.
Lectures are free for members of the WPWA and their guests. The schedule and RSVP instructions can be found at www.tinyurl.com/wpwa-lectschedule. Be sure to RSVP if you want to attend because space is limited.
The lecture topics and speakers are:
