Refreshments served at 5 p.m. Program runs 5:30-7:30 p.m.

“Our members have told us they want clear, unbiased information about energy development in southeastern Wisconsin—context that helps them understand the issues without being told what to think,” says Director of Conservation and Stewardship Tara Greiman. “This event is designed to equip farmers, landowners, and community members with the tools they need to evaluate how energy projects may impact their land, livelihoods, and the future of our electric grid.”
