Lake Windermere Ambassadors Nuisance Nutrients Workshop

Wondering what makes algae grow? What feeds the plants growing on the bottom of Lake Windermere? What happens to the fish when they decompose? Join the Lake Windermere Ambassadors for this free afternoon workshop to learn about the science of nutrient cycles and nutrient loading in lakes, rivers, and streams. Sign up here!
