Continuing our series of online educational offerings, we are pleased to announce the presentation of Hackmatack, Here at Home, via video conference Monday evening, July 20, from 6:30 to 8:00 p.m.
Hackmatack National Wildlife Refuge truly is near to home, occupying portions of McHenry County, Illinois and Walworth County, Wisconsin. How and when was the refuge established? What is the current state of its development? Are portions of it open to visitors? Join us to find out about the so-called urban refuge that serves the human populations of Madison, Milwaukee, Chicago, and Rockford, while protecting important wildlife habit—right here at home.
KMLT’s Executive Director Greg Rajsky is also the volunteer vice chair of the Friends of Hackmatack National Wildlife Refuge. KMLT’s prior executive director, Maggie Zoellner, also serves on the Friends’ board. Register for this online presentation to hear the inside story of Hackmatack.
We are not charging a fee to participate, but will gratefully accept any donations. Offer what you feel it to be worth, in accordance with what you can afford. Advance registration is required and will be limited to the number of participants we can accommodate online. We are presenting via video conference so that we can see one another’s smiling faces (and pandemic haircuts!).
Please e-mail sue@kmlandtrust.org for detailed information on how to register.
As we plan more online educational programs for the weeks to come, we’d love to hear from you with ideas for topics or guest speakers.
As always, thank you for your support of Kettle Moraine Land Trust. We’re still your partner with nature, working to protect and care for the lands and waters we cherish. And all of us here wish you good health and well being!
