Robin Greenfield is an activist, social reformer and servant to Earth, humanity and the plants and animals we share our home with. His life is an experiment with truth and integrity. At the heart of Robin’s action-based philosophy is his dedication to living simply and sustainably as a means of active resistance to systems of destruction and exploitation. Through living closely connected to Earth, he is on a path of personal liberation. Through living simply, he rejects societal standards of consumerism that contribute to great inequity and injustice.

Robin’s public activism involves dramatic gestures designed to reach the mainstream and to provoke critical thought, self-reflection and positive change. His activism creates nuanced conversations on the critical issues of our time, with a focus on solutions for living in harmony. His work has been covered by media worldwide and he has been named “The Robin Hood of Modern Times” by France 2 TV and “The Forrest Gump of Ecology” and “A Thoreau-esque character for our digital age” by Rich Roll. What Robin is dedicated to is simple – liberation and basic rights for all – Earth, humanity and our plant and animal relatives. 

He has recently completed a year-long activism campaign of foraging 100% of his food and medicine, traveling the country extensively sharing the message that Earth provides us with everything we need. This year he launched the 1 Million Community Fruit Trees Initiative, with an objective to plant 1 million fruit and nut trees through a grassroots, collaborative effort of thousands of individuals and communities across the nation.

Sierra Krueger is an Academic Advisor at the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse and a member of the Brothertown Indian Nation, also known as Eeyamquittoowauconnuck. Originally from Kiel, Wisconsin, Sierra earned bachelor's degrees in Social Work and Sociology from UW-Stevens Point and is currently pursuing a master's degree in Community and Organizational Leadership. Before joining UWL, she worked as a Community Health Worker with the La Crosse YMCA and as a first-year admissions counselor at Viterbo University. At UWL, she supports students across several academic programs as they navigate college, identity, decision-making, and belonging.  

Sierra's story also offers an opportunity to learn about the Brothertown Indian Nation and its continuing presence in Wisconsin. The Brothertown community traces its formation to Indigenous peoples including Mohegan, Pequot, Narragansett, Niantic, Montaukett, and Tunxis ancestors who came together in the eighteenth century and ultimately established a community in Wisconsin. Today, the Brothertown Indian Nation continues as a distinct tribal community with approximately 4,000 enrolled members and a tribal government based in the Fond du Lac area.

This year’s Wisconsin Trout Stream Restoration Workshop explores Streams in Motion: Restoring Connectivity & Freedom to Meander. 

A healthy stream is not static. Its channel moves, sediment travels, water spreads onto floodplains, habitats shift, and aquatic organisms move through connected stream networks. Restoration strategies increasingly recognize that long-term stream health depends not only on what happens within the channel, but also on the connections among the stream, floodplain, riparian corridor, wetlands, and surrounding watershed. 

The winter timing creates space for professionals, faculty, and students to connect, share lessons from the previous field season, and consider restoration priorities and approaches for the year ahead. Register
