Errington Memorial Lecture — entitled "Tribal Land Management: Balancing the Triple Bottom Line of Environmental Stewardship" — Sept. 26.

Then, Marty Lenss, director of the Eastern Iowa Airport and founder of Wings2Water, joins the program to talk about his work reducing nutrient pollution runoff and restoring local water quality.
