Wednesday on Lake Effect: Preserving the Old Soldiers' Home, Wisconsin International Academy, DNR

Wednesday on Lake Effect:

Why a former administrator with the state’s Department of Natural Resources is alarmed by cuts to the department’s science budget.  Later, some say the difficulty preserving Milwaukee’s old Soldiers’ Home complex is emblematic of preservation issues throughout the VA.  The story of a former Wauwatosa motel now housing more than a hundred Chinese students studying at Milwaukee area high schools.  And we’ll learn about the evolution of Havenwoods State Forest – the only state forest located entirely within the city of Milwaukee.

  • Genell Schuerell, National Trust for Historic Preservation; Dawn McCarthy, Milwaukee Preservation Alliance; Gary Kunich and Matthew Cryer, VA Medical Center
