2013 Wisconsin Lakes Partnership

We're All In This Together:
Celebrating Diversity

This year’s theme was “We’re All In This Together: Celebrating Diversity”. We explored the many different aspects of our wonderfully varied lakes - our diverse flora and fauna, the diverse people who love them, and the many ways we recreate in and around Wisconsin’s waters. Thank you for coming together with folks from all across the state as we celebrate our differences and unite to protect, restore, and enhance our lakes.


 
 

There are many things that make our lake communities diverse. Sit back and enjoy as we celebrate this diversity - you might even learn something! The enchanting music of UWSP student Alaric Coussons tickles your urgency for spring at the lake while narrator Peter W. Hargarten (also a UWSP student) reminds us that "we are all in this together." This digital production is brought to you through the continued partnership of UWEX Lakes and the UW-Stevens Point music department. 

488 folks came from nine different states and 59 Wisconsin counties to participate in the 2013 Wisconsin Lakes Partnership Convention.
