Event Details:

“Our members have told us they want clear, unbiased information about energy development in southeastern

Wisconsin—context that helps them understand the issues without being told what to think,” said Tara Greiman,

WFU’s Director of Conservation and Stewardship. “This event is designed to equip farmers, landowners, and

community members with the tools they need to evaluate how energy projects may impact their land,

livelihoods, and the future of our electric grid.”
