The We Are Water MN exhibit moves to Itasca this week! Join us for this public seminar to hear from Dr. Jake Walsh, Assistant Professor in Fisheries Wildlife and Conservation Biology at the University of Minnesota, who will share about his research partnerships with State, local, and Tribal governments and local citizen groups to better understand and manage our valuable lakes.
Dr. Jake Walsh is an assistant professor in the Department of Fisheries, Wildlife and Conservation Biology. Jake studies lake ecology and stewardship, especially in understanding and managing aquatic biological communities and ecosystem services with state, local, and tribal partners. Aquatic invasive species are often a central focus of this work.
