"Lake Responses to Wisconsin's Changing Winters": In-Person Badger Talk in Merrimac, WI

Join us for this free, in-person event on August 23, 2025, at 12:30 PM at the Village of Merrimac Building. This event is hosted by the Lake Wisconsin Alliance (LWA) and is open to the public. No registration is necessary.

This talk discusses how winters are changing in Wisconsin due to climate change, and how reduced or lost ice cover on our lakes impacts how they function and provide habitat to the plankton, fish, and other animals that live in our lakes.

Presenter Zach Feiner is a fisheries ecologist who studies fish populations in inland lakes, rivers, and the Great Lakes across the Upper Midwest. His research focuses on the dynamics and management of recreational fisheries, including who fishes, what they fish for, and how they value fishing, and how climate change is affecting our lakes, including the fish populations and communities that live in them.
