Friends of the Arboretum
Annual Meeting: "Community Conservation: around the world and back home again" with Dr. Robert Horwich
Saturday, June 5, 2010: 9 a.m.
Join us to celebrate another year of providing enlightening programs, activities and trips for our members, and financial and volunteer support for the Arboretum.
The day begins with a buffet breakfast, followed by our business meeting, short reports, and a presentation by Dr. Robert Horwich, award-winning founder and director of Community Conservation, a Wisconsin-based environmental organization working around the world. His program, "Community Conservation: around the world and back home again," will highlight his work empowering local people to protect their home environment.
His projects include working with Russians to safeguard wetlands for Eurasian cranes and tree kangaroo conservation in Papua, New Guinea. Rob has recently turned his attention back to Wisconsin, working with organic farmers in the Kickapoo Valley, coordinating research on the endangered ornate box turtle in Southern Wisconsin and creating a management plan for wintering bald eagles along the Wisconsin River. His message is inspirational and provides a successful model for environmental sustainability.
