A 1,000-Mile Great Lakes Island Adventure

Date: 
Thursday, April 28, 2016 - 8:00pm to 9:00pm

Location:
Tecumseh District Library, 215 N. Ottawa Street, Tecumseh

Author, adventurer and speaker Loreen Niewenhuis will take you to islands in each of the five Great Lakes and their connecting waters. In words, photos, and video, you’ll explore the geology of the largest system of fresh water lakes in the world and why there are tens of thousands of islands in the Great Lakes basin. She’ll reveal how these islands are diverse in both geological underpinnings and in the life forms existing on the islands.

She will also take you along with her to explore some of the scientific research on the islands that she assisted with during her island odyssey. From the wolf-moose study on Isle Royale to the conservation of the endangered piping plover on the Manitou Islands, Niewenhuis will open her audience’s eyes and minds to the complexity of life on our Great Lakes islands.
