VIA ZOOM AND IN-PERSON: Great Lakes Champions, presentation by local author John Hartig

Great Lakes Champions is the story of 14 people who love the Great Lakes, have led grassroots efforts to clean up some of the most polluted areas of these inland seas, and inspired others to follow. They have had to persevere over decades and not give up in the face of adversity. They are well respected and trusted in their communities and are not in it for acclamation or commendation. They simply and profoundly love the Great Lakes, show reverence for them, and work tirelessly to pass them on as a gift to future generations. Their stories are compelling, provide proof that individuals can indeed change the ecosystems where they live, and will give hope to a new generation of champions.

THIS EVENT WILL BE BOTH IN PERSON AND VIA ZOOM.
