Keynote: Great wetlands: Reflections on the past, present, and future for Green Bay’s coastal treasures
Coastal wetlands are part of what makes the Green Bay region so important and special. Drs. Robert Howe and Amy Wolf will share their experiences as part of the community studying and caring for the region’s wetlands with Dr. Amanda Banet, the new Director of the Cofrin Center for Biodiversity at UW-Green Bay, in this interactive plenary presentation. Howe and Wolf will offer a virtual tour of some of the region’s most vital coastal wetlands and share reflections on both past and future challenges and opportunities. How have past decisions and work set the stage for things happening with coastal wetlands today? How are decisions being made and work being done today setting us up for the future? What are some of the greatest challenges and opportunities with respect to wetlands in the region? What does the future hold for Wisconsin’s coastal wetlands, and how can we help shape it?
