Retired science teacher spends much of his free time on a mission to protect the city’s urban lakes from the impact of urbanization
Richard Witham, who has lived on Long Lake for 33 years with his wife, Audrey, is one of the citizens who dedicates a good deal of his free time on a mission to protect city lakes from the effects of urbanization.
Stewardship members' concerns also extend to wider environmental issues that adversely affect wildlife and can restrict recreational use. Witham, a retired science teacher and midwifery professor, "is active in research concerning water quality issues that are relevant to our local situation, particularly increasing salt levels in our urban lakes, invasive species as well as septic system contamination," adds Lindsay, the president of the Minnow Lake Restoration Group.
Five leading water quality experts, such as Living with Lakes Centre director John Gunn, were scheduled to present at a live event that had to be reconfigured as a virtual conference.
