Water Management at the UW Arboretum, Past to Present

Tuesday, January 19, 2021 (noon-1:00 pm)

Water Management at the UW Arboretum, Past to Present

David S. Liebl, Past Chair, UW Arboretum Stormwater Committee

Managing the Arboretum’s abundant water resources once focused on promoting wildlife conservation. Today the focus is on protecting the ecology of sensitive natural areas from urban stormwater runoff, and supporting ecological restoration and research. Learn about how the Arboretum’s water resource landscape has been re- shaped over time in response to trends in ecological science, and changes in the surrounding Lake Wingra watershed. We’ll discuss how climate change and urban runoff management provide both challenges and opportunities for the future of the Arboretum.

This is a free event.
