Talk: Water in a Karst System

Dive into the fascinating geology beneath our feet with Amanda Surfus of Door County Soil & Water! 🌊🌿
In this informative program, Amanda will explore how karst landscapes—formed from fractured limestone and dolomite—shape the way water moves through Door County.
💧 Karst systems are known for their thin soils, sinkholes, disappearing streams, and rapid underground water flow. These unique features make our region beautiful ✨, but they also create special challenges and responsibilities when it comes to water quality, groundwater protection, and land stewardship.
🔍 Amanda will explain how water travels through cracks and channels in the rock, why karst areas are especially vulnerable to contamination ⚠️, and what local residents and visitors can do to help protect our shared water resources 💙.
The presentation will combine science, stories from the field, and Door County–specific examples 🌎.
💦 Drop in — no registration required
💦 Free and open to the public
💦 All ages welcome!
🤝 Join us to gain a deeper understanding of the hidden pathways beneath the peninsula and learn how thoughtful choices can keep our waters clean and healthy 💙🌊.
