Climate change was recently the topic of discussion at a workshop presented by Brenda Archambo, president and founder of Sturgeon for Tomorrow and outreach consultant for the National Wildlife Federation (NWF).

Along with Michigan United Conservation Clubs (MUCC) and Wildlife Federation, Archambo is worried about cold water fisheries (especially trout and salmon), ice not freezing like it used to and the effect of climate change on wildlife populations in Northern Michigan. Because of this, Archambo presented a workshop on March 26 at the UAW Family Education Center in Onaway as part of the Climate Change Campaign to 45 attendees that included state representative Gary McDowell, Doug Craven, director of the Natural Resources Commission for the Little Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa Indian, and Dan O’Keefe, Ph.D., southwest district extension educator for Michigan Sea Grant.
