Organizations like the Upper Sugar River Watershed Association are more important than ever in meeting our many and complex conservation challenges.  In Meine’s talk, he will reflect back on the history of watershed conservation work (especially in the experience of Wisconsin’s own Aldo Leopold), consider our current realities, and look ahead with future needs and opportunities in mind—in the Upper Sugar River basin, in Wisconsin, and beyond.  Along the way Meine will tap into his recent book The Driftless Reader, which brings together writings about the natural and cultural history of the region that of course includes the Upper Sugar River.
