When it comes to defending your rights when it comes to clean air and water, Midwest Environmental Advocates Staff Attorney Adam Voskuil says it comes down to you speaking up. Voskuil is the guest speaker at a Door County Environmental Council session on Thursday entitled, “Healthy Lands, Healthy Water: Legal Pathways to a More Just Wisconsin” this Thursday at Crossroads at Big Creek in Sturgeon Bay. Voskuil and MEA have been involved in a number of high profile cases that directly impacted Door and Kewaunee counties, including addressing the public trust doctrine in Sturgeon Bay and the authority of the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources in protecting Wisconsin waters. The non-profit environment law firm is currently involved with a case asking regulators to revoke carbon credits from a large-scale farm in Kewaunee County with a history of environmental violations. Whether the cases are based in Door and Kewaunee counties or not, Voskuil says the work they do in the state can have an impact and some of their recent wins are already having a positive change in Wisconsin.

The presentation will begin at 7 p.m. The DCEC is also making the presentation available online via Zoom.
