Listen to an energetic funny canoeist, Kevin Callan, on how to reconnect with our Rivers.     
          Pleasures of Paddling a River – Canadian author and renowned canoeist will be presenting on the values attached to paddling a river. He will be taking us on a number of his favorite “misadventures” had in a canoe and on a river. Some have labeled Callan the "Red Green of the Canoe World”; he's entertaining and informative and this is a show you definitely don't want to miss.  

 
Listen to an amazing Grant funded project at Riveredge Nature Center by Marc White. 
Lake Sturgeion Restoration - Implications for Regional Water Quality and Stream Habitat

Lake Sturgeon is the largest longest lived species native to the great lakes and has not used the Menomonee River for spawning in over 150 years. Marc White will present an introduction to the ongoing restoration of this ancient fish and the implications of Lake Sturgeon restoration on water quality and stream habitat issues in our region.
