Thursday on Lake Effect: Ability Center, Schlitz Audubon Species Count, Lynden Sculpture Garden

Thursday on Lake Effect:

Today on the show, an effort to make Milwaukee more accessible to those with impaired movement focuses on something we all want to do in the summer – go to the beach. Then, a group of scientists tries to count every living species of plant and animal at the Schlitz Audubon Nature Center. We’ll meet a man who tended the grounds at the Lynden Sculpture Garden for a half-century; and hear a few tracks from jazz musician and Wisconsin native Kat Reinhert’s new album.

Guests:

  • Damien Buchman, Ability Center; and Kyle Wilkomm, SRH Marketing/RampUp MKE
  • Ellen Censky, Milwaukee Public Museum; Marc White, Schlitz Audubon Nature Center
  • Bob Retko, (formerly) Lynden Sculpture Garden
  • Cari Taylor-Carlson, essayist
  • Kat Reinhert, musician
