About the Lake Superior Collaborative Symposium
The Lake Superior Collaborative Symposium is an annual event designed to share and discuss current projects, data, and ideas, while strengthening connections among professionals working on conservation, restoration, and climate-adaptive projects in Wisconsin’s Lake Superior Basin. The Symposium also provides valuable networking opportunities and space for group input and action planning that help shape collaborative efforts for the future. Participants share success stories, explore new research, and identify opportunities for collaboration across organizations and disciplines.
The Lake Superior Collaborative (LSC) is a network of federal, tribal, state, academic, and nonprofit partners working together to coordinate protection, restoration, and resilience efforts in the Basin. While the LSC was officially formed in 2018, its collaborative roots extend back to 1998 through decades of partnership and shared conservation work. Each year, the Symposium brings this network together at the Northern Great Lakes Visitor Center (NGLVC) in Ashland, Wisconsin.
