Our first guest is cultural geographer, Geri Weinstein-Breunig. Geri has 18 years experience in management of public land and water, working with citizens to define a river or stream in their community as a cultural landscape steeped in shared history and value. Her written cultural histories of Midwestern rivers have been a catalyst for citizen stewardship initiatives. “The river is just being itself, we have to decide how to interact with it.” Ms. Weinstein-Breunig will share her perceptions on people & rivers on
Thursday, July 10th , 7pm at the Soldiers Grove Library.
Our next speaker will be Dr. Kenneth Potter, professor of civil & environmental engineering at UW-Madison, on the subjects of flood management & restoration of aquatic systems. Ken has studied flooding in Wisconsin for 30 years and has written about the benefits of conservation practices on flood control. Ken invites people to email him prior to his visit with any questions concerning this topic, to help him shape the nature of his talk. Please visit his university website for more information. http://www.engr.wisc.edu/cee/faculty/potter_kenneth.html
