Coffee, snacks and socializing at 9:30

Join Jennifer Ekstrom to learn about Idaho Conservation League’s long-term goal to restore and protect North Idaho lakes and waters, conserve their native biodiversity, and ensure they remain swimmable, fishable, and safe into the future. The desire for Idahoans and visitors to be near and recreate in our lakes has resulted in expansive population growth. This development threatens to destroy nearshore areas and wetlands. ICL works to protect the lakes and waters of North Idaho from degradation, pollution, and inadequate land-use regulation while advocating for policies that safeguard them.

Jennifer joined ICL in 2022 to develop and lead the North Idaho Lakes Conservation Program and now serves as ICL’s North Idaho Director. Jennifer brings more than two decades of experience working on environmental campaigns. Most relevant is her previous position as founding Executive Director for Lake Pend Oreille Waterkeeper, where she successfully campaigned to improve the State of Idaho’s practices regarding the application of herbicides to waterways.
