Another Winter Lake Talk & Eats Program Set For March 1
February 17, 2025 at 4:10 p.m.
WINONA LAKE – The Wawasee Area Conservancy Foundation (WACF) is partnering with the Lilly Center for Lakes and Streams for another informative Winter Lake Talk & Eats program from 9 to 11 a.m. March 1 at the WACF Levinson LaBrosse Education Center, 11586 N. Ind. 13, Syracuse.
The theme for this panel discussion is “Protect our Lakes.” The four panelists will discuss how sediment and pollutants can be kept out of the water, what people’s roles are in this endeavor and what individual homeowners can do to help.
Lake sediment contains phosphorus which contributes greatly to excess weed and algae growth, according to a news release from the Lilly Center. As that excess growth dies, it decomposes, reducing the amount of oxygen in the water that fish and other aquatic life needs to live. The more sediment that can be kept out of the waterways, the healthier the aquatic life will be.
What can you do to help? Find out at this presentation. Panelists will be Matt Sandy, Kosciusko Plan Commission director; Matt Burlingame, Lilly Center assistant director of research; Scott Fetters, U.S. Fish & Wildlife biologist; and Ben Schlipf, design engineer - precision planting, Kosciusko Soil & Water Board member nominee.
Lake Talk & Eats is free and there is even a free continental breakfast. Can’t attend in person? Find WACF on Facebook or email [email protected] to find out how you can attend online.
