Langston will ask what can we learn from environmental recoveries in the Lake Superior watershed over the past century, as we face new interconnected challenges from climate change, synthetic chemicals, and forest change. In her recent Sustaining Lake Superior, Langston describes significant conservation success stories for fish, forests, and water quality, with significant consequences for Native American and working class communities. None of these recoveries are complete. Yet they offer us hope as we face new environmental challenges, trying to shape resilient strategies in the face of an uncertain future.
