Friends of Starkweather Creek annual spring membership drive — The Midwest Environmental Justice Organization (MEJO), Gambian Youths of Wisconsin and East Madison Community Center youth fish at Olbrich Park Boat Launch, at the mouth of the Starkweather Creek at Lake Monona. Starkweather Creek flows through Truax Field on the Northside. In 2008-2009, before concerns about PFAS in the Creek, MEJO advocated for and helped design signs placed on the shorelines of the Yahara lakes with safe fish eating guidelines in response to PCB and mercury levels, including at the Olbrich Boat Launch. The guidelines are general for all Dane County waters. Photo by Maria Powell
