About the Presentation: Since 1978, LoonWatch has been protecting common loons and their aquatic habitats in Wisconsin and the Upper Great Lakes region through education, monitoring, and research. In this presentation by LoonWatch Coordinator, Erica LeMoine, we will learn more about LoonWatch and the history that the Loon Preservation Committee has with its start. We’ll also delve into the other Midwestern loon programs, and loons and lake culture in the Midwest.
