New Great Lakes Web site: Here's something you might not have expected from a D.C. lawyer - a new Great Lakes-oriented Web site - greatlakescountry.com. "I guess I started the site in part because I miss the lakes," said Web site creator and international trade law attorney Daniel Wendt, who grew up in Michigan.... "My overall goal is to help foster the idea that there is such a thing as a 'Great Laker,' a person who loves and enjoys the region as a whole, and to give them a central location for relevant information." Similar to other sites like the Great Lakes Information Network (glin.net/news), the Web site aggregates news and feature stories from other publications."
"Great Lakes news highlights delivered every week: Readers of this blog may be interested in an excellent new website and news service, Great Lakes Country. It is run by Dan Wendt, whose expertise extends beyond environmental issues to trade and economic development. I highly recommend the weekly email news service, which selects the top ten media articles on Great Lakes issues and delivers the highlights every Friday."
"welcome to a fine new GL web site/blog: I'm pleased to see the community has now expanded with what seems to be a first-rate site: http://www.greatlakescountry.com/."

The Great Lakes Country is the territory of the Great Lakes watershed, stretching from Duluth and Thunder Bay in the north and west, to Kingston and Watertown in the east, ecompassing urban landscapes and wildnerness, expansive farms and towering factories, Yankees and Canucks. Of course, the Great Lakes themselves - the prize of the region - are some of the greatest natural resources of North America, if not the world.
This is a website dedicated to news about protecting - and enjoying - the Great Lakes Country, from north to south, east to west. We collect good news and bad news (as demonstrated above), good opinions and not-so-good opinions (but who are we to judge?). And then we catalog them as best we can so that you can quickly survey the biggest issues in the Great Lakes watershed. We regularly update the website, which is organized by topic, and also distribute a weekly email that selects the best, most significant, or most notable articles from the week and includes some recreation links.
