Lunch & Learn: Water Quality in Lake Erie

Join The Nature Conservancy in Defiance, Wednesday Jan. 18th for a lunchtime presentation and discussion on the topic of Lake Erie Water Quality from 11:30 am - 1:00 pm.

Learn from Dr. Christopher Winslow, Interim Director of OSU Stone Labs on "Agriculture's Link to Lake Erie" and Dr. Kevin Egan, UT Professor of Economics on "Cost-Effective Economic Policies to Achieve Cleaner Water."

Dr. Winslow will speak about how our local streams and tributaries impact the water quality in Lake Erie, and how our very own Maumee River Watershed impacts the Western Lake Erie Basin. Dr. Egan will present one of his current research areas, focusing on the topic of a corrective fee on fertilizer sales as an incentive to reduce nutrient-rich runoff entering our streams, rivers and ultimately Lake Erie. The event will also leave time for group discussion.

Please RSVP by Monday, Jan 16th to secure a spot and reserve a lunch; email jenglish@cityofdefiance.com or call 419.783.4355.
