Watershed Biologist Rob Karner has worked for the Glen Lake Association since 1977. His science-based initiatives have made the GLA a leader among Midwest lake associations. He is a key member of the expert team tasked with monitoring for and eradicating invasive species like Eurasian watermilfoil.
You’re most likely to find him taking water samples in the middle of a lake, leading a Discovery Boat tour, working with riparians on their greenbelt buffers, explaining the life cycle of swimmer’s itch, or taking amazing photos. No matter the season or the weather, you can count on Rob to keep watch over the watershed.
