I hope this resource list can be expanded to include adult programs. Maybe programs can be run concurrently for parents/adults as these folks make the decisions about how their property is managed and impacting their nearby lakes.

Where did you go on the Nalms website?

The lakes appreciation month page is under the events tab on the nalms website!

I know Geneva, NY has done community reads, and I see that there are a number of people in the area - it would be great to do a "Finger Lakes Read" of a lake-related book, with presentations and events throughout the region!

I love that idea, Ryan!

IF you're in a Great Lakes watershed, I'd highly recommend "The Death and Life of the Great Lakes" by Dan Eagan. I read it, had my book club read it, and then went to his presentation at the Cary Institute in NY. Great book and presenter.

Awesome!

Do you do programs with school libraries as well?

is there a way to get a list of participants by state so we can connect?

I was thinking that as well :)

I wonder if it would possible for libraries to have secchi disc and some simple monitoring tools that could be be loaned out during July? Our local library has gardening tools that they lend out and seed giveaway….

Good idea

Geographic conncection

Yay- my favorite biology professor!!

A good adult book is The big thirst: the secret life and turbulent future of water. by Fishman, C. 2011. FreePress, N.Y.

Do you have Still Waters by Curt Stager on your adult reading list? Also Beyond Walden by Robert Thorson and any of Doug Tallamy’s recent books are good reads for adults.

does Curt do author talks about his graphic novel?

Thank you! Looking forward to your survey and links.

Awesome! Excited for future collaborations! :)

Rotary International has added environmental proactivity to its short listing of major focuses. It is also involved in literacy worldwide. Perhaps contacting your local Rotary Service Club would be a helpful collaboration for involvement with school system.
