Lake Michigan Day highlights the significant opportunities for continued restoration and protection of Lake Michigan and the broader Great Lakes Basin, while also addressing ongoing challenges. With an excellent lineup of panelists, speakers, and lightning talks, every August Lake Michigan Day provides a forum for practitioners, decision-makers, and community leaders to learn about ongoing collaborative, community-focused water and land conservation work. Each year, the Lake Michigan Champions of Conservation awardees are honored at Lake Michigan Day for their outstanding leadership in protecting and enhancing the precious lands and waters of the Lake Michigan Basin.
