The theme of the 2025 Place-Based Workshop was place and water. Participants took a deep, immersive dive (no pun intended!) into a single place: Lake Mendota, its southern shoreline, and its deep geological and Indigenous history.
Through presentations, exploration, and activities, CHE associates and guests immersed themselves in place-based investigations related to water, the intersection of water and land, and the Indigenous past, present, and future.
