The annual Hamilton Roddis Lecture, sponsored by the University of Wisconsin Department of Forestry, Ecology, and Wildlife Studies and by Kemp Natural Resources Station, takes place at Camp 5 Farm , Laona, WI., August 18, 2009 at 10:30 A.M.

Speaker Iain Murray’s topic is “Global Warming—Its Science, Economics, and Ethics”.
