Cathy is a Professor of Community Resource Development and an Environmental Outreach State Specialist for the University of Wisconsin-Extension. She is the President of the Friends of the Gile Flowage (FOG) lake association in Iron County and a former County Extension Agent. Cathy designs educational initiatives that make environment issues “come alive” to encourage action. Her presentation will build awareness of how climate change is affecting species and habitats in our lakes, using evidence we can observe with science. She will also discuss how climate change will impact what we value about our lakes and how we can take action to build resiliency.
