A Conversation with lifelong Great Lakes advocate Jane Elder & FLOW
May 31, 2024
Event Navigation
Join FLOW (For Love of Water) on May 31st at noon with author Jane Elder to discuss her new book, “Wilderness, Water and Rust: A Journey toward Great Lakes Resilience.”
Weaving together memories from her life in the upper Midwest with nearly fifty years of environmental policy advocacy work, Jane Elder provides a uniquely moving insider’s perspective into the quest to protect the Great Lakes and surrounding public lands, from past battles to protect Michigan wilderness and shape early management strategies for the national lakeshores to present fights against toxic pollution and climate change. She argues that endless cycles of resource exploitation and boom and bust created a ‘rust belt’ legacy that still threatens our capacity for resilience. The author lays out the challenges that lie ahead and invites us to imagine bold new strategies through which we might thrive.
