Now in it’s eleventh year and in person for the first time since 2020, The Red Cedar Watershed Conference: Land, Water, and People Coming Together, returns to the campus of UW-Stout in Menomonie on Thursday, March 9, 2023. The event bring together farmers, lake lovers, river rats, conservationists, academics, and local government officials from within western Wisconsin’s Red Cedar River basin and from across the state to discuss issue around the river and watershed, with an emphasis of improving water quality.
This year, three keynote speakers present during the event, with additional breakout sessions as well. Featured speakers include:
