Tuesday session to look at Whitefish Lake report

Join researchers from the Whitefish Lake Institute on Tuesday to learn about the organization’s water resources report and what it means for you.

The institute released its comprehensive report, “A Status of the Whitefish Lake Watershed and Surrounding Area,” last October.

The institute collected data on the watershed beginning in 2007 and compiled its findings into a complete status report that is to be used for long-term water quality management. The report provides baseline knowledge, identifies known and potential concerns, and offers recommendations to organizations responsible for the health of the watershed.

The presentation will take place March 22 at the O’Shaughnessy Center in Whitefish.

Beginning at 6 p.m., attendees can enjoy wine and desserts while learning about creative projects underway by local high school students. At 7 p.m., Whitefish Mayor John Muhlfeld will introduce the institute’s presentation.

Whitefish Lake Institute Executive Director Mike Koopal and Science and Education Director Lori Curtis will provide details of the research and the report. A question-and-answer session will follow the presentation.
