In the past few weeks, we’ve installed two new interpretive signs in the Cofrin Arboretum that are focused on educating visitors about watersheds.
These signs are one result of a recently completed watershed planning project conducted by CCB staff and a former graduate student in partnership with UW Sea Grant.
The watershed planning project was funded by the Wisconsin Coastal Management Program and the signs themselves were funded by the UWGB Sustainability Committee.
CCB Natural Areas Crew member and Environmental Science major, Olivia Salm, designed both signs and incorporated content and ideas from Erin Giese, Dr. Robert Howe, Julia Noordyk, Lynn Terrien, and Bobbie Webster.
We hope these signs will raise awareness about the small watershed of Mahon Creek, which flows through the south part of the UWGB Campus, as well as the larger Green Bay watershed that our campus is located in.
