A place to ponder

As spring settles in on University Bay, visitors to the Lakeshore Nature Preserve can now take in the view from a custom-crafted park bench along the shoreline.

“Our new bench is truly representative of the preserve. Not only were we able to incorporate elements of our logo into the form of the metal bench ends, we also used campus sourced materials to build the bench,” explains Daniel Einstein, program manager at the preserve.

The bench project was a collaboration that benefited from generous contributions from UW System students, graduates and staff, as well as university supporters in the manufacturing community.
