Lemke invited to speak on Emiquon

Mike Lemke, associate professor of Biology and director of UIS' Emiquon Field Station, has been invited to make three presentations about Emiquon in September – at Spoon River College's "Science Café," to the Springfield chapter of the Sierra Club, and at the annual section meeting of the American Society of Civil Engineers.

Located along the Illinois River near Havana, Emiquon is the site of efforts to restore the natural floodplain ecosystem to more than 7,000 acres of farmland owned by the Nature Conservancy. More information is available at www.uis.edu/emiquon/.
