Migratory Flyway" --

and WDNR

The keynote speaker is Kathleen Schmitt Kline, author of the book "People of
the Sturgeon - Wisconsin's Love Affair with an Ancient Fish". Kline is a
former science writer at the University of Wisconsin Sea Grant Institute,
which supports research, education, and outreach dedicated to the
stewardship and sustainable use of the nation's Great Lakes and ocean
resources. Kline will be selling her book and signing copies at
the conference.
The new environmental center and Concordia University's distinctive location
on Lake Michigan afford an unprecedented location for this conference and
its theme, "Tracing Water Trails. Water Habitat, People and Culture."
Milwaukee Audubon will also be presenting the Lorrie Otto Memorial
Recognition Award for excellence in preserving native
fish and wildlife habitat.
